Easiest way to go to baguio from manila

**ParticleX** · February 27th, 2015 09:43 AM

May relatives kasi ako dun sa LU so parang rest stop na rin at the same time i-tour sila around town and the beaches nearby (or sa Thunderbird), saka distance would not be an issue, di naman kami nagmamadali hehe

Medyo matagal na rin ako di nakaakyat up north (di ko pa naabutan ang TPLEX being operational). Ang questions ko eh

(1) May direct connection ba from SCTEX to TPLEX? If wala, anong exit sa SCTEX would take me to TPLEX?
(2) Saan ako mag exit sa TPLEX? As per research, Urdaneta ang last(?) exit as for now so I assume dito. May signages ba rito directing to McArthur? Then straight na ito to junction. Familiar na ako dito papunta SF then Baguio na.

Thanks!

Diretso lang from sctex to tplex. Iisa lang ang toll gate nila. Pag surrender mo card ng sctex bibigyan ka naman ng card ng tplex if going up north, then reverse when going south.

Would anyone know if the single ticketing system for the NLEX-SCTEX-TPLEX be in place in time for the Holy Week? TIA

Q lang po kung gaano ba katarik at kahirap(Kennon Rd) papuntang Baguio? Yung papanik pa lang na nadaanan ko eh Sta Rosa to tagaytay at Carmona going to GMA cavite. Last time nakapunta ako Baguio 1991 pa at byahe lang hehe..

Matagal ako nabakante mag drive and our unit is Ertiga GA, manual tranny 1400 ang makina.

TIA

Tama si bro jut703...another hour or so ang dagdag sa trip mo by taking Naguilian road. Marcos hiway (Aspiras) is actually easier to navigate than Naguilian road dahil mas wider ang road.
But if you really want Naguilian road as your route of choice, your exit shall be in Bauang at Caltex gas station. Just turn right after passing Bauang police station and there you go to Naguilian road.

Nlex: exit dau
Sctex: till end at la Paz tarlac
Tplex: till end at urdaneta

Mcarthur highway till rosario la union. You can take either kennon or Marcos (ben palispis na yata yan ngayon). For me I prefer kennon as it is shorter and got picturesque views of the mountains and river.

My mom lives in Baguio so me and my family often go there. Ang favorite route ko lately is.

NLEX - SCTEX - TPLEX - Mac Arthur - Kennon. Pag may time or pag may ibang kasama, we usually stop by the Bridal Veil falls sa Camp 1 ng Kennon. May hanging bridge na pwedeng tawirin ng tao going to the falls. Exciting.

Average travel time from balintawak to baguio? Yung hindi ratrat na takbo hehe

And ano na ruling ng kennon? May one way going up pa din ba?

Going to baguio tomorrow morning.

Around 4-5 hours from Balintawak to Baguio via NLEX-SCTEX-TPLEX-Kennon.

There are a few one-way segments in Kennon but generally traffic flow is smooth.
