Mt. Oro

DESCRIPTION: (oro)

Mt. Oro is a new day hike destination in Barangay Mascap, Municipality of Rodriguez in Rizal. Its name is a Spanish word that means “gold”.

This mountain is the latest addition to the so-called Montalban Pentalogy turned Hexalogy.

Mt. Oro’s is known for its exposed trails, with only a few shady spots. If you’ve climbed Mt. Maynoba, you’ll have a good idea of the trail’s type.
This mountain’s trail is ideal for first-timers because it is not primarily on assault and is only a short distance in total. If you go at a decent pace, you can reach the summit in 45 minutes to an hour and a half.

There are two summits on Mt. Oro, both of which offer a 360-degree view over the Rizal highlands.
