Pinto Art Museum/Pinto Art Gallery
Grand Heights Subdivision San Roque Antipolo, Rizal

Before reading the Pinto Art Tour, Read first the Antipolo Roadtrip Part 1. Antipolo, Rizal (Click here)

This might be the most famous museum in Rizal with different celebrities and travel bloggers visiting the museum, from time to time it pop-up on my instagram feed and I can say that It really catch my attention. I do not have a talent for art, yes I am a teacher but thanks to technology and it make our work more easy especially for us, Science educators. However, I have a huge interest and appreciation for art found in different museums in our country. I've been eagerly want to visit this museum because of the different reviews I read from blog community.

We supposed to visit the museum on a Saturday but I came late in Manila because of the lazy weather. The rain poured and we decided to move it the next day. The weather is just so perfect for a road trip in Pinto Art Museum.

"A quick budget getaway near Metro Manila"

"Kung Hei Fat Choi" long weekend getaway. Antipolo is situated in the province of Rizal, 30 minutes drive from Metro Manila in an ordinary traffic. I really don't know why Antipolo was never been the first option of people to visit in near Metro Manila, people rather go to Tagaytay or Batangas for their quick relaxation getaway from polluted and stressful Manila. What people don't know is there are several places to visit in Antipolo. You can drop by in their cathedral, museums, the so-called famous Hinulugang Taktak from the song "Tayo na sa Antipolo. . " and  some places that I wasn't able to visit in. There is also a lot of food choices and attractions such as spa and farm resort that has been on my list in my next visit to Antipolo. To top it all, it is only near Metro Manila and UV Express are available anytime in Cubao.

If you are considering your budget, you can have a budget of P650.00 (starting in a bus trip from Pampanga) and can enjoy the raw charm that Antipolo can offer. I also admire the transportation system in Antipolo. It just so convenient for those who travel by two or three that tricycle are available anywhere, the P50.00 UV express service is just so reasonable.
