Philippine Tour Outline
Dear cycling buddies,
I’m not able to go around much due to limited funds. So I just made an outline of two of our treks here in The Philippines: TREK #1 Terrain : mountainous Total Distance : about 300 kms.; daily average of 50 to 70 kms./day Road Conditions : (2/3) rough; dust, gravel, & mud (1/3) paved roads Total Days : 1 to 2 weeks (w/ rest days) depends on guests Points of Interests: Baguio City - summer capital of the Phils Mankayan - old mines Sagada - quaint mountain top village, hanging coffins, spelunking, etc. Banaue Rice Terraces Current Hotel Rates: Low end - Php 200.oo to 500.oo per day High end - Php 1,000.oo and up per day Van/Truck rental: about Php 5,000.oo or more per day depending on the distance & NOT including gas expense. Bike & Mechanic rentals: will have to negotiate / haggle with local bike shops NOTE: I recommend treks here be done in the 1st quarter of the year. Weather’s the coolest. 2nd QTR is the hottest. 3rd is the rainiest. 4th is fairly average. TREK #2 Terrain : flat & rolling country w/ occational mountain passes Total Distance : 700 to 900 kms; daily average of 120 to 140 kms/day Road Conditions: paved roads Total Days : 10 days (w/ rest days) also depends on guests Points of Interests: Mayon Volcano – crater can be climbed when safety conditions permit. there are scheduled club treks Irosin town – volcano & lakes Donsol town – whale shark viewing Samar Prov. – spelunking San Juanico Bridge – connecting Samar & Leyte Islands Palo town – Red Beach, McArthur Park, Imelda Marcos’s ancestral home. Hotel/Vehicle/Bike parameters : the same as Trek #1 Current Exhnge Rates : Php 56.00 is to USd 1 NOTE: - here, road or cyclocross bikes will do. - This trek might be too long. Better to slice it into 3 sections for better appreciation - English is the 2nd most spoken language here locals understand the basics. NOTE: For further infos, photos, festival schedules try visit www.wowphilippines.com & other links Please kindly send a short reply if you’ve received this e-mail. Hope your staff can come up with a great package for this part of Asia. Just drop me a line in case you might need a guide here. Best regards, Redesto (Resty) M.
