Paseo rápido en bici de San Mateo a Antipolo

Here’s a smooth 14 km cycling route that takes you from San Mateo to Antipolo City—two cool spots near Metro Manila known for their scenic views and hilly terrain. The ride starts in San Mateo, a gateway to the Sierra Madre mountains and a favorite jump-off for bikers. The route is mostly on quiet roads, with a nice mix of paved and concrete surfaces, so you won’t be dodging too many cars.

You'll roll through peaceful neighborhoods and climb gentle hills (there’s only about 43 meters total ascent, so it’s not too tough!), before enjoying a sweet descent toward Antipolo. Antipolo City is popular for its sweeping city panoramas and tasty suman, plus the historic Antipolo Cathedral if you’re up for a quick stop.

With a nice blend of road types and minimal busy traffic, this ride is perfect for an easy weekend spin or anyone looking to swap city noise for the fresh air and relaxed vibes of Rizal Province. Don’t forget your camera—views here are a legit bonus!
