Reina's Travels

This was a dream travel for me. I never imagined that I would be able to visit the famous Puerto Princesa Underground River which is now belong to the new 7 wonders of nature. Since my companions and I were already in Palawan, we never missed the opportunity to visit this famous tourist spot. Along the way, I could not refrain myself from not taking a photo of this. This is a solar lamp post which means that the light produced by it is powered by solar energy which comes from the light of the sun. According to our travel guide, this was designed by a German engineer. It amazes me to see a lamp post without long electricity wires and very environmental friendly.  Back to my travel to the famous Underground River, so after more or less four hours of travel from El Nido, Palawan we reached our destination. After listing our names and paying for the boat we are now ready to go. During our visit, there was an incoming storm that our short boat ride was a bit...

Ugong Rock Adventures is located at Brgy. Tagabiniet, Puerto Princesa City. If you are on your way to the famous Underground River, you could pass by to this place. Caving, splunking and zipline adventure are the activities offered here.    This is one of the passages inside the cave. Ugong Rock was named after a musical instrument "ugong". There are some rocks inside the cave that if you knock on it, it would create an ugong-like sound.  One of the many features inside the cave are these stalactites and stalagmites formations. This is a stalactite that looks like a chandelier but as time passes by it already reached the ground. If you would be in Ugong Rock Adventures, finish the activity by enjoying their zipline adventure. So far this is the fastest zipline I had experienced with a travel time of 21 seconds. As always do not forget to take pictures.  As a whole I enjoyed the activities here. In terms of expenses, it costs me less...

This is Taytay in Palawan. A place with a lot of historical sites. In this place you will you be able to find old church, old buildings and old port.          This is one of the old buildings which is now used as a commercial buiding. This was built during the Spanish time. Another old building is this church. It is so amazing to see buildings that was built hundred years ago which were still used up to this time.  A scenic view of the two old buildings with the name of the place. While strolling around I can't help myself not to capture a picture of the community. This is the pathway towards the old port.   A beautiful view of the port.            A landmark in the entrance of the port stating that Port St. Isabel was first built using wood in 1667 as a garrison for the Spanish troop of peace. It was built through the effort of Gov. Fernando Manuel de Bustillo. ...

       At long last, I was able to visit Asik asik falls after months of longing to visit it. Asik  asik falls is near our place and it is specifically located at Brgy. Dulao, Alamada, North Cotabato. It was a newly discovered tourist attraction and was only brought to my attention on the month of May.       To be able to reach this place, the nearest airport is Awang Airport of Cotabato City which is one hour and forty-five minute flight from Manila. From Cotabato City to this place would take two hours ride. If you want to travel by land, Libungan to Davao would take three to six hours ride and from Libungan to Brgy. Dulao would take thirty minutes to reach this place. In order to reach the vicinity of the falls you must walk these steep slope which is around five hundred cemented steps.        I know that whatever you will encounter while walking on the steps above, I am sure it is all worth it with the am...

    It is better that things had been planned ahead of time in order for things to run smoothly. Yesterday, we are asked in the office of our planned absences in the coming months. I had a planned vacation on the coming months and I informed my boss about it. Gladly, she had no questions or disagreement about it. I am really excited for that flight. My brother-in-law booked that  discounted flight for us. It is only here in the Philippines but the place is so popular for its beautiful nature views. Its underground river was already included in the new seven wonders of the world. I hope our plan will run smoothly and hope in the future we could also avail Cheap holidays to Turkey , Cyprus, Singapore, Greece and other beautiful destination around the world. 

       Lake Agco is located at the foot of Mt. Apo. I knew everyone who climbed Mt. Apo knew this place. It has been the camp site and stop over place of climbers of Mt. Apo. It was my second time to visit this place. On my latest visit, I went here with my husband's family. Below is the list of the fees and rates of their amenities. Photo courtesy of my bubbly niece. :)         Lake Agco is at the heart of a rainforest and since Mt. Apo is the tallest mountain in the Philippines, Lake Agco is also in  a higher ground. The weather here is always gloomy and most often there are fogs. The hotsprings of Lake Agco is really conducive for its weather.   Below is the view from the entrance of Lake Agco.                 Though it is cold out there, there are still a lot of communities here. They already get used to the weather and to the foggy surroundings.     ...

       Tawsuvan Eco-Resort is an eco-resort at the foot  of Mt. Apo.It has a beautiful falls in a   rain forest. This has also been a camping ground for the climbers of Mt. Apo and for other tourists. It was an adopted place by the University of Southern Mindanao wherein they beautify and improved the place as well as construct some amenities to it. Below is the beautiful falls of Tawsuvan Eco-resort.           Since Tawsuvan is at the foot of Mt. Apo, it is on a higher ground with a cooler temperature. That is why a lot of campers are in here during summer and stays here for a couple of days. As an observation, they brought along their tents, their air bed, some cooking wares and a lot of food. Of course, they did not forget to bring along thick clothes, jackets, socks and blankets to fight the cold.        If you want to go at the top of the falls, you could do so but be sure that you are physic...

         Accompanying my husband in a church event for men, I was able to reach Lebak. It is a coastal town of Sultan Kudarat which is at the southern part of the Philippines. It is famous for its long shoreline and nice beaches. We been able to reach this place after five hours of travel from our place taking up the Upi road. It was a nice travel because we went there together with the group of fathers in our church.            Lebak beach is really beautiful. It has wide shoreline, big waves and fine sand. It is also a good source of fresh fish that the common source of income here is fishing. Food here is not a problem because even if you would go fishing, few meters away from the shoreline, within minutes you would be able to catch fish. If you don't want fishing, you could buy newly caught fishes at the fishermen nearby at a lower amount.             One of the unforgettable scene...

      Cannibad is so far the cleanest and the most solemn beach I had ever been. True to its tag line "Cannibad: the Secret Paradise", it is really a paradise for me. Cannibad is one of the beautiful beaches of Island Garden City of Samal (IGACOS) specifically located at Brgy. Penaplata. From Davao City, you must sail on a barge if you have a private car or on a ferry boat at Sasa Wharf. Barge fee may range from P60 pesos, for motorcycle, to 500 pesos depending on the type of vehicle that will be shipped. Ferry Boat is also a good means of transportation to reach Samal as well as taking a bus ride from Sta. Ana, Davao City, near Magsaysay Park to be able to reach Penaplata. From Penaplata proper it would be around four kilometers land trip to Cannibad. Though the road is stiff, it would be nothing compared to the paradise view of Cannibad that awaits you.  Sunrise at Cannibad Boating at Sunrise Early morning Swimming   View at Noontime Havin...
