Up in Apayao

By: Nathaniel Silvano

This summer, it’s not all about going to some common vacation places in the country to unwind and relax. Apart from it, it is also about a challenge to discover places that are uncommon and different from the usual getaways we’ve known.

You don’t need to take a ride on an airplane just to go to famous spots in Visayas and some from Mindanao because just here in Luzon, you can find many places that class and not very far from the beauty of those in two other major islands.

Cordillera Administrative Region (CAR) is known for its rich gardens and farms. It is said to be the number one supplier of fruits and vegetables in Luzon. Some think that if they will go there, only plants are what they will see but they never know that there are still hidden paradises just waiting for your attention.

Apayao is a not so famous province in CAR. You can only hear its name when it has been affected by a typhoon. But don’t you know that there some cool and fresh destinations in this place. Apayao has its own version of virgin attractions. It has Dibagat River that which you can feel the cool water as you swim into it. The cool breeze of air in the river is really rejuvenating to the feeling. It also has a sanctuary that can be compared to what Palawan has. This is the unpolluted Anag- Sicapo Wildlife Sanctuaries. This is a sanctuary full of trees and free from illegal logging and mining.

Also part of the class spot in Apayao is the Maton Underground River. It is not as pretty as the underground river in Palawan but it has its own beauty that will surely capture your attention.

Apayao also has great waterfalls and churches which has been visited by many tourists.

Tourist destinations in Apayao are really eye-catching and breath-taking. And once you visit the places here, you will surely crave for it.
