MANILA, Philippines - Nestled among the forested valleys and rolling hills east of the Metropolis is an eco-sanctuary that is poised to put the Philippines on the international cycling map. The premier township of Timberland Heights reveals a world-class biking trail that is drawing big names in mountain biking from all over the country.
Developed by Filinvest Land, one of the leading property developers in the country, Timberland Heights is a 677-hectare nature-oriented development that builds on the natural greenways of the San Mateo mountains to bring forth an environment that nurtures both body and spirit. Its amenities include a nature track dubbed Eco-Trail, a challenging trail that is gaining popularity among mountain bikers, trekkers and nature enthusiasts.
The scenic and challenging terrain of the Eco-Trail affords a spectacular view of the enchanting valley below as well as the picturesque Laguna de Bay and Mount Arayat. So even before it is officially unveiled to the public, the Eco-Trail at Timberland Heights was already a popular destination for hardcore mountain bikers.
Developed by All Terra Cyclery owner Edmund Mangaser and American cycling expert Tony Boone of International Mountain Bicycling Association (IMBA), the Eco-Trail follows the natural contour of the land and promises an exhilarating journey through verdant hills and valleys. All Terra Cyclery is a full service cycle and multi-sport retailer, catering to the needs of mountain bikers, road cyclists, tri-athletes and other endurance athletes.
The trail for beginner and intermediate to advanced bikers are delineated from one another by a color scheme of green and blue. The 3-kilometer Green Zone is recommended for those who are just getting the hang of mountain biking while the 10-kilometer Blue Zone is perfect for those who thirst for more thrills and challenges. Timberland Heights’ Project Group Head Albert Morales shares that the company is committed to sustaining this Eco Trail and maintaining its natural landscape.
