Our North Luzon Adventure

I am 47 going 25, if the activities of the past few days are anything to go by.

My family just came back from a trip that took us from our home in Batangas City to the town of Banaue in Ifugao Province, the town of Sagada in Mountain Province, the City of Baguio in Benguet Province and the City of Antipolo in Rizal Province before we headed back home.

According to the route I plotted in Google Maps, we drove a total of 1,102 kilometers for some 21 hours.  Of course, our odometer registered differently because of the additional driving that we did in the sites we visited: some 1,126 kilometers by the time we returned home.



The odometer’s tale doesn’t quite cover the kilometers we walked to and from the Batad Rice Terraces, or those we covered when we slid, rappelled and crawled inside Sumaguing Cave in Sagada or even the steps we took going down Echo Valley to view the hanging coffins or simply to eat at Sagada’s signature places like the Sagada Lemon Pie Café and Resto and Yoghurt House.

So to elaborate on our North Luzon adventure, read on: Getting to Banaue
