Unlike our Laoag and Pagudpud stops, we didn’t hire a guide to tour us around Vigan. We visited all tourist spots by taking a rickshaw. The downside of this is that it showed me that tricycle drivers in Vigan are not trustworthy. I think they charge tourists at a much higher rate compared to Laoag…

Our day two in Pagudpud was spent doing what was dubbed as the “North Tour”. We had our breakfast at Evangeline’s and as previously planned, we transferred our baggages from Jun & Carol’s to Evangeline’s before asking our tour guide to fetch us. Like the South Tour, the trip cost 600 Pesos per tricycle/rickshaw. Fees (very minimal) to optional stops like Kabigan Falls and Agua Grande are not included though. The North Tour includes the following stops:
Our flight from Manila arrived in Laoag past 9PM. We decided to stay the night in Laoag’s Isabel Suites and head straight to Pagudpud the next day. To get to Pagudpud, we boarded a non-airconditioned bus in the bus terminal at the back of the Provincial Capitol. The trip took approximately 4 hours.
