North Luzon Loop

**ParticleX** · January 25th, 2016 11:34 AM

We are planning to do a North Luzon loop. Kakayanin ba ng 3 days (not counting the jumpoff the night before)? I enjoy long drives - meron naman ako 2 friends kapalitan if ever.

Here are my proposed routes:

Manila - Pagudpud - Tuguegarao - Santiago City - Cabanatuan - Manila
Manila - Pagudpud - Tuguegarao - Sagada - Baguio - Manila

What route would be the most scenic?
In those routes, what should I watch for?
Vehicle is only at 1000kms so am not expecting a breakdown (knock on wood!), but what tools should I bring if ever?

Thanks

Not sure sa scenic route pero daan na kayo syempre vigan/balwarte kung kaya.
Tools i can think of e spare tire na capable of travelling the same distance, light source, change tire tools, jumper cable, duct tape, cash, power bank.

Plenty of water and an axe. :-) and , of course, a navigation software, such as oactek navigation software.

mas maganda yung mapa lang. walang gp-gps. mas exciting kapag nawala sa daan.

Marami road works sa vizcaya part. Kaya make sure to bring a lot of patience. Most scenic would be banaue, side trip sa sagada, tabuk, tuguegarao, appari, pagudpud, vigan.

There is nothing special on the part of vizcaya isabela.
