Cycling day trip from Calumpang to Port Area

Hop onto your bike in Calumpang—this laid-back neighborhood in Marikina is known for its local eateries and the scenic Marikina River Park. From here, your 25 km ride takes you mostly on quiet roads, skirting busy hotspots while skimming through a mix of city life and casual residential pockets.

The route is quite manageable with gentle ups and downs—just a bit over 100 meters of ascent and descent—so you won’t be breaking too much of a sweat. The roads are mostly paved (think concrete and asphalt), but watch out for some segments where the surface gets a little patchy. As you roll closer to your destination, you’ll notice the urban vibe intensifying.

You’ll finish up at the Port Area in Manila. This is Manila’s hub for shipping and trade, and you might catch the sight of towering cargo ships or the buzz of port activity. You’re also just a short spin away from historic Intramuros, so consider cooling down with a side trip to Manila’s rich colonial past!
