Your journey begins with an early morning departure from Manila as you head north to the historic city of Vigan, a UNESCO World Heritage site.

After exploring this historic site, you'll make a stop at Malacanang of the North, the former residence of the Marcos family, overlooking the serene Paoay Lake.

In the afternoon, the adventure moves north to Pagudpud, a coastal paradise famous for its white sand beaches and clear blue waters. Along the way visit the Bangui Windmills, the first wind farm in Southeast Asia, where towering wind turbines dot the horizon, creating an awe-inspiring landscape.
