PAGUDPOD SOUTHBOUND ITINERARY


Due to time constraints we want to maximize this trip... so we start it from the farthest to the closest on our hotel.  The tourism here is very organized. A fix rate of 600php per tricycle with a maximum of 3 pax was highly implemented, you can also haggle if you want just like what i did since we planned to take north and south tour the entire day :)


** I know this is a budget trip but since it's a whole day tour take note that you need to take care of your driver/tour guide/photographer as well (food/water etc)


Southbound Tour

Bangui Windmills - super hot as in...i can't stand the heat of the sun in this area. I can consider this the hottest trip ever!!














Cape Bojeador Lighthouse - i'm so fond of old lighthouses and Cape Bojeador was one of the easiest to see.  NO SWEAT!!!












Kapurpurawan Rock Formation - as i said it's been ages since i planned to go and visit Ilocos and it was so unfortunate to me and my travel buddy not to get a closer look of this infamous rock.  As of March 1, 2012 you can not go near the rock anymore to be able reserved it's beauty.  =(  I just wish they moved the date from March to April 2012...


















HAPPY TRAVELS!!!

  1. The wisest decision and things to do is prioritize the schedule and go first at the farthest location then down to the where you stayed. I like decision like this one. At least if ever i will be visiting far north, I will also do what you did in this travel. :-). This is a good tip.:-).

  2. Aww... Can't come close anymore? Sayang. But it's for the rock formation's preservation, so it's all good.

  4. Tama lang na hindi na mapuntahan yung bata, may mga tao kaseng nag-uukit ng mga pangalan nila dun para masabe na napuntahan na nila yung rock formation na yun.
