How to Get to Tumana, Marikina City?

Tumana is one of the largest and most densely populated barangays in Marikina. Formerly a sitio of Concepcion Uno, it has grown into a thriving residential community with its own schools, public market, and neighborhood centers. Situated near the Marikina River, Tumana is well known for its strong community spirit and strategic location between Marikina and Quezon City.

A bridge connecting Tumana to the Balara area of Quezon City has greatly improved accessibility, providing motorists and commuters with an alternative route and helping ease traffic congestion in surrounding areas.

From Cubao
From Aurora Boulevard in Cubao, ride a jeepney with the Parang Lamuan signboard. This is the most direct route to Tumana, passing through A. Bonifacio Avenue in Barangka.

You may also ride a jeepney bound for Montalban. Although the trip is slightly longer, it will still take you to Tumana via Marcos Highway and Gil Fernando Avenue.
