Easiest way to go to baguio from manila

[venom]

Was in La Union over the weekend. Suggest you guys use the Magilas Trail or the Urdaneta-Manaog-San Jacinto-San Fabian route. My simple mind tells me that those ongoing repair works (widening and/or reblocking) wont be done by Holy Week. Going there we used the TPLEX. As soon as hit Villasis the the traffic hit us...and it went all the way up to the southern La Union towns.

Coming to Manila we opted for the Magilas Trail. The time difference between coming and going was 2-3 hours.

dadaan ka pa rin sa roadworks upon exit mo ng binalonan if via magilas trail (correct me if im wrong) dahil sa sison ay di pa rin tapos ang roadworks. dun (sison0 din ako natrapik last march dahil sa buses at trucks na ayaw magbigayan.

mayron din alternative route to magilas trail. that is a concrete road traversing through rice fields before rosales. hindi dun sa may crossing sa carmen bago yung bridge. wala nga lang kasing nakalagay na road sign. pero dun ako dumadaan nun.

better use damortis road going up via manaoag - san fabian - damortis - rosario (la union) and vice versa

Yes nadaanan kona rin yan. May kabataan nga na humihingi ng donasyon para sa Fiesta nila.

True, dadaanan mo pa rin yung ginagawa sa Sison if you use the Magilas trail but then again the road between Villasis and Urdaneta is also a killer if and when you decide to use the Urdaneta-Manaoag-San Jacinto-San Fabian route

I guess at this point its choose your poison. harhar

Try Camiling to San Fabian. Road is as good as it can be.

onga pala hindi ko naisip ito. but if ever someone decides this route, SCTEX tarlac city or luisita ang exit. then some patintero sa mga trikes ng tarlac city.

and yes its true, the choice of route is still up to the driver. if in doubt, take your usual route esp. kung gabi. kung daytime and have some time to spare para sa mga "lost" situation, you may want to try these alternatives.

^I've used that road before. Yung dadaan ng Bayambang, kala ko di na kami makakalabas sa taniman ng mga mais. Kung Baguio papunta, napakalayong ikot. Siguro best pa rin mag MacArthur pero midnight dumaan para kaunting traffic na lang.

just make sure maganda A/C ng car kundi may palitada na mukha mo pagdating sa destinasyon...hehehe

Kung lalabas ka ng Damortis, the better route should be Damortis > Agoo > Baguio. Marcos Hi-way will start in Agoo.

The Rosales exit of TPLEx was already open last Easter Sunday. Toll free sya sa ngayon. Don't know when they will start charging toll
