I
thought we’re just having a day of sightseeing around Baguio City just as I was
discussing the previous night with my friend but when our vehicle started
traversing Marcos Highway, I somehow got this feeling we’re heading out of
Baguio. My friend told me we’re going to
Pugad but I didn’t know that the place is not in Baguio until we’ve reached it
and stepping out of the vehicle I instantly felt the heat which is a huge
downgrade from the cold climate of Baguio and saw the sign of the resort which
says La Union. We are out of
Baguio!

Again, I
was deceived as always the case when dealing with this friend of mine. I really
despise her every time she does that and she does that all the time! I can no longer do stuff that I usually could
and enjoy some years back and this is an adventure park! For heaven sake, I’m starting to become an old
fart!
If
you’re coming from Baguio, this place is merely an hour drive away, but from
Manila, takes about 5 hours.
PUGAD – acronym
for PUGo ADventure – is a lovely resort nestled in between mountain ranges and
long running clean rivers. Located in
Sitio Kagaling, Barangay Palina, Municipality of Pugo, La Union, PUGAD is
becoming a favorite among adventure seekers from citizens of metropolitan
Manila and Baguio City as well as nearby provinces.
The
facilities itself are quite excellent, pretty huts, manicured lawns, but just
upon parking our vehicle, we asked the green-shirted staff where we could park
and was told to “just look around and find somewhere to park”. What a nice introduction of a beautiful
resort!

I was
still hopeful though as the lady right after the main entrance where one should
pay the fees is nice, that made up for the service impotence upon our arrival. Maybe the parking lot is the most dreaded
spot that an employee of the resort could get, after all there is nothing to
see there except for vehicles.
As the
name implies, visitors should expect a lot of adventure activities like
ziplines, wall climbing, rappelling, Australian run down (not sure what’s so
Australian about it?), giant swing, paint ball, ATV course, a mini zoo and the
several swimming pools both for kids and adults. I can no longer do those adventure stuff,
maybe I can but I don’t want to. The
last time I attempted a zipline in Puerto Princesa Palawan, I gagged just as
the staff started putting on the harness.
I forgot that I’ve developed this vertigo which started from way back
when, I don’t remember.

We were
first given a hut just around the first pool near the entrance, I thought that
was it, but my friend returned to the entrance and requested for a hut on the
other side of the river and the way to get there is through two hanging bridges
that kept on rocking, that in itself for me is already an adventure! Crossing the bridge onto another bridge, so
that was passing by two running rivers, onto our small two-story hut, that’s
when I’ve comprehended how big the place is yet it’s full of visitors, mostly
families after all it was a Saturday. But
as the afternoon progresses the swarm of noisy holidaymakers and screaming
children started to thin.

I’ve
noticed the presence of a lot of Koreans who may have come from Baguio too and
have discovered the place. The pools
smell too much of chlorine but for people who cannot tolerate that, the
beautiful river is a good alternative, it’s clean and running, and accessible
going down the stairs from the swimming pool and hut areas. There are pigeons or doves hovering around
and nestling through crevices on the rock walls on the side of the river. The only thing that's really bothersome at the resort are the presence of so many flies, the nets on every hut did nothing to prevent them from getting in!
 |
Beautiful native huts. |
For
overnight stayers, they offer in-house family airconditioned rooms with TV and
showers, and complimentary breakfasts for 6 person costs P6,000. The main swimming pool is open until 9:00pm
for overnighters.

List is below:
You can
either bring your own food, do some barbecue, they have facilities for such, or
order food at their restaurant. Since
the place lies in between mountains, it can get really hot so be prepared
especially if you’ve got accustomed with the climate in Baguio City. If you’re coming from Manila, you’re used to
it.
We left
the place as the staff started to clean up before 5:00pm. Great place for all ages especially for
people seeking adventures and swimming at the same time – all in one place. A nice stopover for vacationers before heading
to Baguio City or before going back to Manila.
The
place is open from 8:00am til 6:00pm only.
You can

ReplyDeleteBritish Airlines, they've never been late for me, however British Airways Cancellation Policy is straightforward. Subsequent to looking at such a huge amount about cancellation strategy, at last, I got an answer via Airlinespolicy.com. They have fresh, short, and important data about alteration, wiping out, registration, Baggage, and Pet policy. They helped me a ton during the brutal Covid-19 time. I'm extremely grateful to the group of airlinespolicy.
ReplyDeleteemirates change flight policy If you need to change your ticketed flights, such as the dates, destinations, or times, your ticket must be reissued. In most cases, airlines will charge a fee for exchanging a ticket. The typical reissue fee charged by the airline is $150 for a domestic ticket, $200 or more for an international ticket.
