Travel and Adventure - Palanan

May 2012

My latest visit in Palanan, Isabela.  Here's what made the trips so nice and interesting.  Upon landing, I had in mind the feeling that this would be a great adventure, though I did not plan for it.  Oh! it's summer and the climate was on for trekking and long walk to the sea shores.  Yes, we did, Alvin my nephew and Angel our tour guide arranged for the three day outskirts.

Destination: Disumanget

Palanan Isabela - Disumanget
From town proper, trekking mountains took three hours, passing through beautiful rivers and streams and rainforests.  The journey was filled with excitement, with my heart and my brain imagining the beauty of the place that I have visited when I was seven.  After 32 years, what would it be? How does it look like? Is it the same when I get there the first place.  Oh, I can't wait to see, i can't keep my brain thinking how beautiful the place was, hope that this time, it's natural beauty is intact.

On our way, we met Rody (Agta - native) together with Lemon, also a native. Took pictures with them and chat a little, share a piece of chocolates, then we proceed to our journey.  Looking afar, the mountain seems to be small but the trekking damaged my Croc sandals and i asked the team to take a breath at the top, checking my compass 3,000 feet above sea level. I thought I can easily conquer the mountain but I was wrong.
