This was such a refreshing and heartfelt read! I could really feel your love for nature and the peaceful charm of Manticao River through your words. You painted such a vivid picture-from the cool, shaded trails and fertile banana plains to the majestic balete and acacia trees. I especially liked how you described the natural beauty returning even after the quarrying- A true reminder of how resilient and healing nature can be. It sounds like an amazing spot for adventure, relaxation, and reflection. Thankyou for sharing this slice of paradise, and I'm looking forward to your next travel post! 🌿🌊🌻 @thelivingworld
