Viaje Western Pangasinan | Trip to Bolinao and Alaminos

I had my last minute trip at Bolinao-Alaminos, Pangasinan last June 2-4. It was a dream come true, I finally reached the Hundred Islands National Park, yahoo! This is the preview post of my Viaje Western Pangasinan Series, a three-day trip full of adventures.

Road trip at Bolinao

What we did

• Visited the Church of Bolinao (aka St. James the Great Parish)
• Waterfalls hopping: Bolinao Falls 1 and Bolinao Falls 2
• Explored the Wonderful cave
• Photoshoot at Cape Bolinao Lighthouse
• Beach bumming and sunset viewing at Patar beach

Where we stayed

• We stayed at Villa Carollina at Brgy. Ilog Malino

What we ate

•  Binungey - a sweetened sticky rice placed in a bamboo

What I learned

• The cleanest river in Luzon is located at Bolinao, the Balingasay River
• Sunset in Bolinao is very astonishing

Boat trip at Alaminos

What we did

• Island hopping at Hundred Islands National Park
• Spelunking at 7 different caves

• Jumped at Imelda Cave
• Sunset viewing at Cuenco Island
• Souvenir shopping at Lucap wharf

Where we stayed

What I learned

• If you're in group, renting a transient house is a wiser choice

• Fish being dried under the sun is found everywhere in Lucap
• Arrive early in Quezon Island if you want to experience kayaking
• Sunset in Alaminos is also great
