Baguio to Nueva Viscaya

[underman]

Planning to take a different route from Baguio to Manila. Ask ko lang kung doable po ba by sedan sa ngayon yung way from Baguio to Aritao. Thanks po sa mga sasagot.

Yes I've done this route before with a hatchback (208 GTi) - roads are all paved. You just have to be ready for the never ending twisty curves (much tighter than the curves in Kennon).



This is also the same route going to Mt. Pulag, which I've done with a sedan. You can see the video here (it's the same Baguio-Aritao road until 2/3 of the video where I exit the main road and make the climb to the Babadak Ranger Station):

Generally Ok naman ang road except for some portions thats being repaired, portions with rock rubbles from previous rock falls. May mga steep narrow uphill din ( similar to the uphill climb after the Lions head at Kennon), majority of the road up to Kayapa are zigzag. Scenic din ang view so travel during daytime. 2 lanes lang ang road up to Vizcaya.

Sa Vizcaya side up to Aritao, well paved, cemented ang roads at malapad, up to 4 lanes.

I use this route whenever I go to Bangbang and back to Baguio. Make sure lang clean and ok pa brake pads mo. May mga uv at (aircon) buses bumibiyahe dito. Normally 2 to 3 hours up to Aritao -Maharlika Highway junction.

From Aritao to Sta Fe to N.Ecija, ganda ng daan mostly asphalted, during weekends, halos walang road obstruction.

Have a nice and safe trip.

why would you take the vizcaya road? mapapalayo ka pa uwi sa manila, pag baba mo aritao aakyat ka nanaman ng sta fe, kung road trip hanap mo, ok naman daan ngayon wag lang ma ulan, may mga small land slide pag pa ulan sa kayapa road

Thanks po sa mga nag reply. Anyhow, the purpose of why I am using this route is purely road trip lang naman po.

it will definitely not disappoint. this route will even take you right by ambuklao lake and dam.

edit: forgot to add, i did take this route a while back - 2009 or 2010, i think.

Pass by this road a few years ago, really great view and challenging road. My wife brought food kaya nag picnic pa kami sa bundok na marami pine trees

Can you give feedback regarding road condition, might pass by again before the weather gets hotter.

Maayos at Safe ang daan.. Pakiusap lang sa mga ibang motorista dito lalo sa mga baguhan na gusto sumubok--Mag-ingat sa pagmamaneho at huwag nagmamadali.. Yung iba kasing nagmamaneho dito sa bilis at di kabisado ang daan nang-aagaw na ng linya lalo sa mga kurbada tapos yung iba naman nag-oovertake ng alanganin tapos nabubulaga kapag biglang may makasalubong.. Siguraduhin ding kundisyon ang mga sasakyan dahil may kataasan ang mga paahon.. Minsan akong dumaan dito at may Van(Toyota Hi-Ace Commuter) akong hinahabol at binubusinahan dahil malakas yung tagas ng langis sa sasakyan nya eh akala ata nakikipagkarera ako ayaw tumigil ayon naubos ang langis sa makina.. Nung sinilip ilalim natanggal turnilyo sa oil drain..

Nasa planning stage pa lang naman ako. I'm still picking which date is suitable for this journey, I think it needs long holiday. I'll see to it also that the car is in good condition since I will be travelling with my family. And of course, I'm going to make a review once it pushes thru. Thanks guys.

Was able to try this road going to Isabela, left Baguio before 9 AM, mga 3hours chill pace nasa Bambang na kami, na enjoy ko yung view and hangin (lalo na pag walang kasabay na sasakyan hehe). Make sure lang na maganda panahon pag dumaan ka sir, parang nakakatakot pag umuulan at madulas ang daan.

tama si ericb, nakakatakot ang daan pag umuulan dyan may mga maliliit na land slides pero passable naman, pag gusto mo talaga road trip daan ka kayapa then mag isabela then quirino then aurora province, overnight sa dinadiawan white beach, mga 7-8 hours travel, ganda beach sa dinadiawan dami hotels, then mag baler ka kinabukasan going to manila. dami din tourist spot sa quirino province along the way papuntang aurora.

Mas nakakatakot mag drive dito sa Quirino going to Dinadiawan compared sa Ambuklao road. Not sure kun tapos na yun maliit na tulay. Pag hindi pa, hirap ang sedan. Though 3 years ago na nun dumaan kmi dyan.
Sa ambuklao road, ganda experience mag drive. Ganda ng sceneries pero wag ka pa distract sa driving [emoji28] . Dito ako dumaan minsan from Baguio going to Isabela.

Actually sir, that is my original plan. Pag nakaraos na sa Aritao, I will be heading to Cordon then to Baler and back to Manila. Hopefully, overnight stay either Dinadiawan or Baler.
