Let the adventure begins!
As we all know, aside from Pasuquin having the sea nearby, it also has a lot of undiscovered natural places such as majestic waterfalls.
#TheIlocanoAdventurers are welcoming 2017 with new adventures already. And, this time we decided to visit 2 places:
1st destination: SAPAT FALLS, PASUQUIN
7:30-8:00 AM - Meeting point at Pasuquin Terminal (near GMW)
We got to meet our new mates when it comes to adventures.
Fare: Php 25.00/each
9:00 AM - Arrival at Pasuquin Market
We met other adventurers who joined us in our outing. We also haggled with the tricycles to bring us to Sapat.
If you're planing to rent a tricycle roundtrip, it will cost you Php 500.00/tricycle (good for 2 persons only).
Some of our companions had their car and motorcycle so only 2 had to take the tricycle. But, one of the drivers suggested to rent his motorcycle instead. We rented his motorcycle for Php 300.00 + gas.
It's more convinient that way and cheaper!
10:30 AM - Arrival at Brgy. Sapat near PAF Airbase.
The road is not easy for it is a little bit upland. So watch out for your breaks!
As we arrived at Sapat, we had to register at the Brgy. Hall. There are no fees.
The way to Sapat falls is a little bit tricky.
You have to take a right turn before you reach the PAF airbase so I recommend to ask for assistance or if you're a risk taker, enjoy getting lost like we did but eventually we found our way.
Once we arrived this road, we always took right turn until we arrive where you should leave your car/motors.
Go downhill until you see a small river the turn left. You'll see the path leading you to the falls.
The trek only takes 5-10 minutes.
Level of difficulty: 1/10.
Unfortunately, the falls didn't have a lot of water. Still, we managed to enjoy its cold water.
12:00 AM - Snack + Swimming time
We had to regain our energy for our next destination and get refreshed to beat the heat!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After Sapat we went straigh to Puttot. It's along the way and very near to Sapat so we had to take the chance and visit it anyway.
Once you enter Sapat road, look for the only store/residents for information.
The way is easy to follow.

2nd Destination: RIVER WATERS OF PUTTOT, BRGY. SULBEC, PASUQUIN
2:00 PM - Arrival at Puttot, Sulbec
It takes around 20-30 minutes of trekking.
Level of diffculty: 3/10 (There are instances where you have to hold on to roots to avoid falling down)
Enjoy the view!
4:00 PM - Back to Laoag
Thank you adventurers for this awesome trip!
