The province of Rizal has kept the spirit of art alive, and this same spirit goes on through the Uugong Arts and Cultural Park, a bastion for natural and man-made beauty.

During the early '60s to early '80s, Uugong Park was known for its breathtaking view of the rice fields, different birds can be seen, and its majestic waterfalls. It is usually a summer spot for families. Uugong means echo, because of the strong current of the falls it makes a loud echo or sound. People from the town usually wash their clothes there, even water buffalos also take dips during the hot summer months.  It is foubd in Brgy. Bumbongan, Morong Rizal

Uugong Park now has a resort made and owned by a local artist named Rafael Pacheco, who is known not only locally but internationally because of his paintings. His medium for his paintings are his fingers. The resort does not use the old falls anymore, instead two pools were made.  Inside the resort you can view the now dead waterfalls and its river. Interesting in the new Uugong resort is the displayed collection of paintings and sculpture of Mr. Pacheco.

The park is also a perfect hideaway from the maddening crowd of the metropolis and as a nature sanctuary. One can enjoy a three-in-one view of the Morong town with its four-centuries-old bell tower.

Location
