I Heart Travels

Pundaquit Beach Zambales Pundaquit, or Pandakit is in San Antonio Zambales, a small fishing village on an attractive bay with a long white sand beach. It is a small barrio next to a glorious South China Sea and surrounded by paramount mountains. It is home to many fishermen as several boats lined their beach. The sun was glaring as I tried to take in the striking surroundings. The beach was very clean, unlike some of Subic's beaches I visited before.   I was really confused if Cove and Island is the same but according to my research A cove is a small type of bay or coastal inlet. Coves usually have narrow, restricted entrances, are often circular or oval, and are often situated within a larger bay. So definitely, we are not going to ride a boat just to get there.  It took us four hour of bumpy ride to finally reach Subic Olongapo and another hour to get to San Antonio Zambales with just 2 hours of slow traffic and the difference is our total travel time. We don't...

Baguio Botanical Garden     Botanical Garden is also known as the Igorot village. It is the place where you can see the Native Nipa huts where the Igorot people live. It’s a very tranquil and relaxing place. We were welcome by the “Builders of Baguio” monument stands her to commemorate the city’s founding in 1908.   The park also showcases the city’s rich flora & fauna, and serves as a site of cultural activities. Tourists can frequently take pictures with the Igorot tribesmen dressed in their traditional native dress. If you want to pose with the natives, make sure that you're able to communicate with them about the payment fee first, before taking your photos- It really annoys me when you experience greedy commercialization in certain places.  There is no entrance fee in the park so you can enjoy walking here without paying extra. The place is so huge and you can really smell the freshness of the garden. You are going to see more flowers, plan...

  We wanted to try something new in Puerto Galera so we decided to hike on of the local waterfalls there. Uninuan Waterfalls is located in Brgy. Uninuan just a stone throw away from white beach resort. . It is nestled at the foot of the towering Mt. Malasimbo and is under the vicinity of Brgy. Aninuan, hence the name Aninuan Falls. To get there we rode a tricycle to bring us to Brgy. Aninuan jump off point. We were greeted by a local tour guide asking for a fee but because we are feeling a bit adventurous we opt to hike for one hour.   Going to Aninuan falls can be tricky because there are a lot of ways branching to different communities in the area. We just follow some old trails and asked politely to locals to get there. We crossed the stream a lot of times and luckily we didn’t quit and continue walking. We finally reached the falls after an hour of spotting scattered trails.   We paid 20 pesos for the entrance fee. The sight of the waterfalls is not as grand as some...
