bro paglagpas mo ng San Jose puro zigzag road na yan hanggang pagbaba mo ng Sta. Fe. dahan-dahan lang at maraming sirang daan diyan.

Santa Fe to Aritao: maganda ang daan diyan may baku-bako lang sa parteng tinitigilan ng mga trucks.

more on uphill siya galing sanjose...

sementado na daan pero may konting bakubako...(that was 4 yrs ago...)

ang problem lang na alam ko dito maraming trucks na dumadaan... parang mahirap mag overtake?

mahirap nga umovertake ... lalo na mga buses ... they drive so damn fast even on zizag road ... kabisado na nila daan eh ... kahit nakapikit mata nila

Was it 4 years ago when we went to Banaue for a weekend vacation? On our way back, we were held on an incline for about 30minutes at Sta. Fe, one of my favorite towns along the way, because of the ongoing road construction. And because of this, only one lane can pass on a segment of the road.

When it was our turn on the road, I needed to overtake more than 30 trucks perhaps as they're slow moving but the drivers are generally courteous.... But you can just imagine the chaos on that stretch of zigzag road as the lighter and more agile vehicles are all attempting to overtake the huge trucks....

Gabi pala ang byahe mo. Sayang you're going to miss the views. Just passed by Dalton pass two weeks ago. From San Jose NE (more uphill) to Sta. Fe, NV (more downhill), is very long and winding road. May mga curves na very sharp. May mga portions na lubak lubak. Just don't drive too fast and make sure that your brakes are properly working.

By the way, From Santiago to Tuguegarao, you have two options - via Ramon - Aurora - Roxas or Via Cauayan - Ilagan. The former is the shorter way.

Ingat sa byahe.
