ILOCOS, VIGAN, PAGUDPUD TOUR | DIY ITINERARY
Contents
Ilocos has been on my bucket list of the places I wanted to visit. So last January 2014, I immediately booked myself a trip along with some friends when Cebu Pacific offered a PhP99 seat for most destinations.
The trip was a bit long because I included in my itinerary some business activities. Unlike another travel blogger (with due respect to them) I don’t really tie myself to a very strict schedule. Simply because, when I travel I wanted to enjoy and I don’t want to be a slave to my own schedule, hence I put a lot of flexibility in my plan.
Here’s my itinerary when I visited Ilocos Region. The places I visited which I listed below has links which have details of my review of the place.
To make your trip easier, you may contact Driver/Tour Guide who helped me during my trip. He can provide you a vehicle to go around and he can also help you find a place to stay during your visit.
