IT'S a jungle out there but there's a cool jungle to run to for an escape away from the hustle and bustle of the cityscape.

It's Jungle Base Grounds -- a hangout that feels right through coffee, food and good company.

Located in a former private sanctuary in the 70's, Jungle Base is a fitness hub, coffee hangout and a breath of fresh air for a growing community.

Operated by city-promdi locals with travelers' hearts, the founders came together to share one vision: turn a private sanctuary to an ever-evolving community.

“Our mission is to create experiences that allow people to recharge and reconnect,” said the group.

“Whether you're an individual looking for engaging and delightful ways to channel your energy or a group of people searching for comfortable local experiences, we're here to provide a meaningful pause to your everyday life,” the group added.

So make your next city safari and hunt trip the Jungle Base located at MacArthur Highway, Telabastagan, City of San Fernando, Pampanga. (Coach Pat De Leon/SunStar Pampanga)
