Sipit Ulang by Eman Campos, on Flickr ![]() Mt. Sipit Ulang by Eman Campos, on Flickr Mt. Oro is another dayhike destination in Brgy. Mascap in Rodriguez, Rizal. The name. "Oro", is a Spanish word literally meaning "gold". This peak stands at 340 MASL, not as tall as the nearby Mt. Ayaas (627 MASL) but towers over Mt. Sipit Ulang (252 MASL) which is also located in the same barangay. As such, it is a great choice for a dayhike especially for novice trekkers and first-timers wanting to experience the joys of hiking, at the same time a great choice as jump-off for a twin dayhike or a trilogy hike for the more seasoned hikers. A great way to cap off a good hike is a traverse to the nearby multi-tiered Payaran Falls. The first 30 minutes or so of trek is on mostly flat ground, ascending very gradually. Along the trail, Mts. Hapunang Banoi, Pamitinan, Binacayan and Parawagan of the nearby Sitio Wawa in Brgy. San Rafael as well as the nearby peaks of Mt. Ayaas and Mt. Sipit Ulang loom in the background.
