Marlboro Mountain - Sagada, Mountain Province

This is my 1st time joining a group so I'm a little bit excited for this one.

Introduction:

Marlboro Mountain is  more or less a thirty minute hike from a drop off point in Lamangan, being one of the highest points in town, it provides a great view of Sagada and its neighboring towns from high up.

How did we get there:

We rented a van going to the drop off point but I forgot how much it is since I'm not the one incharge in finding a transportation for our group.

 

 

Kuya Oscar, Ann, Jan, Jane and Jayciel.

At the Drop off Point:

So we started walking.

and walking

walking

we rested for a while but it turned into a Photo ops.

End of the Trail:

A full 360 view of the mountain, hills and nearby terraces will surprise you when you reach the clearing.

And Unlimited Photo Opportunity!!

This my favorite

and also this one.

Additional Information:

* Marlboro Mountain is a good place for photographers

And if luck is upon you.

*You might see the wild horses of the Marlboro Mountain.

*for tour guide rates and Vehicle rate kindly visit the SAGGAS website.

Thanks for viewing!

There are two landmarks to remember when climbing Mt. Ampacao.

The Summit marked by the Smart cellsite tower

And the

The Ranch Part ( see the cow over there?)

Mula sa Jump-off point inabot kami ng halos lagpas isang oras papuntang ranch (may 3 stop over pa yan bago kami makarating).

One of the Stop Overs ( haggard na haggard lang hheheh!)

Mga ilang piktyur lang ang ginawa namin dahil sa sobrang pagod at hingal.

Nakalimutan ko yung name ng Town....

Nagpapaka-emo lang

Ang plano sana namin ay akyatin yung summit pero sabi ng aming Tour Guide kukulangin sa oras at aabutin kami ng dilim ( mahirap umakyat ng bundok pag madilim).

Sir Ben - Saggas Tour Guide ( thanks Sir Ben)

From the Ranch to the jump-off point inabot lang kami ng 45 minutes (pababa kasi mas madali.).

Notes:

* Bring lots of water.

* Pwede umakyat ng Mt. Ampacao kahit walang tour guide just follow the trail, mas maagi na rin na kumuha kayo ng Tour Guide marami pa kayong matu-tutunan.

I would like to take this opportunity to say thank you to the following persons:

* Sir Ben for being an excellent tour guide /no.1

* Sir Jake for the constructive criticism. ( ano sir, Mt. Pulag naman? hahha!) /wah and last but not the least.

 * The Chatroll Tambay Team for........alam nyo na yun, wala akong masabi hehehe!

Thanks for viewing!

Cosplay Edition - Things that I did while traveling.

Ok first let's start with an inspirational quote:

"If you reject the food, ignore the customs, fear the religion and avoid the people, you might better stay home."   ~ James Michener.

Tuwing naglalakbay tayo, hindi natin maiiwas maki-halubilo sa mga tao, makitawa, makisaya, makipagkwentuhan, etc. etc,  of course,  di naman tayo siguro tutunganga lang at tumingin-tingin lang sa paligid kung saan tayo pumunta.

NGUNIT! wala itong kinalaman sa mga susunod na larawan. ( meron din siguro pero slight nga lang) na makikita nyo. Ang mga makikita nyo ay mga  trabaho (Saludo ako sa mga taong may ganitong hanap buhay,) na sinubukan kong gayahin sa aking paglalakbay.
