Visiting Sta. Monica Ranch, also known as Mitra’s Ranch, is an extraordinary getaway that will give you a different commune with nature. Owned by the Philippine Senator Ramon Mitra, you can experience farm life with a serene and relaxing view of green fields, cows and horses.

The ranch has been one of the favorite destinations for those who want to meditate and ponder. Located in the hilly and terrain landscape of Sta. Monica, the ranch has a beautiful view deck that offers the most breathtaking view of Palawan and of Puerto Princesa.

What to do inside Mitra’s Ranch? You can have a walk around and just feel and breath the fresh air. The whole environment is good to photograph especially those beautiful and serene landscapes. Also, you can have picture taking with the farm animals. One exciting thing inside is the zipline! You shouldn't miss it!

Another good thing is that there is no entrance fee so people can come and go as they like. :)

How to get here:

1. I suggest you hire a van/trike/multicab in going there, especially if you are a group, since you might want to tour this along with Crocodile Farm and Baker’s Hill.

2. If commuting, ride an “Irawan” jeep from Rizal St. and tell the driver to drop you off the intersection going to Baker’s Mill / Mitra’s Ranch. From the intersection, ride a tricycle going to Mitra’s Ranch.
