Amazing place and definitely worth the trip! 🌿💦 Maramo River is a hidden gem in Norzagaray. The crystal-clear water, beautiful natural surroundings, and peaceful atmosphere make it a perfect place to relax and enjoy nature. The experience is even more memorable because of the river adventure and scenic views. The staff and locals were also friendly and accommodating. The trek can be challenging, but once you reach the river, you’ll realize that the effort is totally worth it. Definitely a place I would recommend to friends and family. I’ll surely come back! ❤️🏞️

First of all, the place is beautiful and perfect for anyone who wants to cool down and relax. It gets really exciting as you make your way down the mountain. They also provide tour guides, and they're very friendly, experienced, and make you feel safe throughout the trip. The activities around the flowing water are absolutely amazing. You'll definitely enjoy the cave exploration, 20-foot cliff jumping, boating, and rope jumping. These activities offer an unforgettable experience and are truly bucket-list worthy. Just don't overexert yourselves before heading home, because you might run out of energy when it's time to hike back up the trail on the way out.

10/10 Napaka-gandang ilog, malapit lang sa QC. Affordable ‘yung tour guide and package namin and super bait nila, sinisigurado nila na safe kayong makakapunta sa Maramo River. ‘Yung way namin is from bigte nag tricyle kami to PARI PARKING and from there susundoin kami ng tour guide and we have an option if mag tora-tora kami or just walk pababa ng Maramo River, pinili namin mag-lakad na lang kasi pababa naman and nakaka-enjoy rin— about 30-40minutes na lakaran din depende sa pacing niyo. ‘Pag pauwi mas okay mag tora-tora/4x4 kasi paakyat nung way and nakakahingal. But overall, worth it napakaganda ng nature sana sa mga bibisita iwasan mag-kalat para mas ma-preserve ‘yung lugar. Nakakatuwa rin sa accomodation na nakuha namin kasi maraming tindahan. 200+ lang kami each since 8pax kami.
