Undiscovered Places in the Philippines: Top 5 Places to Visit in North Luzon
by: Mrs. Aileen Soriano
North Luzon is a beautiful place, not much people visit this island, except the Balikbayans who actually know how homey and relaxing the place is.
1. Pangasinan is two hours drive away from the furnished apartment in Novaliches if you plan to make a stop over at the vegetable basket of the Philippines, Villasis Pangasinan. Take advantage of eating at the market resto all around, taste their tasty tupig and the famous Halo – Halo.
2. Another one hour drive will take you to Binmaley Beach, known as the cleanest beach in North Luzon because of its eco-habitat. Unfortunately, you have to reserve one year ahead before you get a slot during peak time from February, March, April and May.
3. Experience the 100 islands hopping in Alaminos Pangasinan, another 1 ½ drive away from Binmaley. See the ranging rainbow colors at sea while you eat along white sand beach.
4. Then if you want to really reach far, and do cave hopping and a picnic along water falls and the light house, you will reach Bolinao the farthest of North Luzon, experience the fresh water mixing with salt sea, and take a walk along the beach line. This is 2 hours drive away from Alaminos, Pangasinan.
5. Baguio City is 2 hours drive from Villasis Pangasinan. The place is the tour capital of the Philippines because of its strategic mountainous location. There are many exciting adventures in Baguio. You can:
a. Visit the Churches. Age old Spanish Churches with intricate trimmings. Holy Mass is celebrated early morning and after work. Take advantage of receiving the sacraments while on vacation.
b. Visit the Mines, buy silver galore as accessories and buy some authentic art work weaved by the Igorots. Their weaving is more than a hundred years old skill passed through generations to generation.
c. Visit the Museums and see for yourself the fierciest tribe in Baguio. We were advised not to stay late for our safety.
d. Visit the Strawberry Farm and taste real strawberries.
e. Visit the famous Metaphors Soap Shop. This is a store of the best soap in Baguio, which can make your skin really look young.
f. Visit the restaurants that offers fresh organic food like Cafe by the Ruins.
g. Visit the other side of the mountain (special trip only from the Department of Tourism) and see for yourself the untouched paradise and take advantage of Baguio Coffee while you sip it hot under cool weather.
h. Plan your visit during Panabenga, the showcase of flower festival in Baguio City.
Do not forget to bring your camera for a snap shot.
