Bantay Abot Cave, Pagudpod, Ilocos Norte

Bantay Abot literally means a cave with a hole, it is not really a cave but a hill and the hole was the result of an earthquake in the 80s.wpid-20150813_112008.jpg

Ka Angrian Waterfalls, Burgos, Ilocos Norte

Located in Burgos town, Ka Angrian literally  means “smelly” and the local folklore says that a mermaid living in the river emits a foul smelling gas when she gets angry at the trespassers of the falls.

We had to take a 30 minutes rough road tricycle ride followed by another 30 minutes hike on foot to reach this awesome multi layered falls.
