You can go spelunking, cliff diving, or trek to the top of Minalungao Cross.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\">Getting to Minalungao National Park is relatively easy, albeit time-consuming. Take a bus bound for Cabanatuan and get off at <em>Bucana <\/em>in Gapan. From there, you can hire a tricycle or get on a jeepney to take you to <em>Papaya<\/em> (the old name of General Tinio).
