8 Must Do Activities in Baler, Aurora

August 27, 2011 by Josiah 15 Comments

1. Sunrise walk along Sabang Beach

Sabang Beach has a great view of the sunrise because it is facing east. It also has fine sand that is very conducive to walk barefoot. Think slow walks on the beach, sunrise while you see and hear the waves crashing. Good when you’re solo, perfect when you’re a couple and better if you are with a group. You may also run if you find walking boring.

2. Trek to Ditumabo Falls

There are two words to describe the trek to Ditumabo Falls and those two words are “Tomb Raider”. Not only does Ditumabo Falls have a magnificent falls with an inviting pond for a swim, it also has the 30-40 minute trek to the falls which you will like Lara Croft. You will be crossing rivers, crossing wooden bridges and walking above the tube for the generation power plant at the jump-off. It would feel like you’re going to a place with ancient civilization.

When we were deciding on where to go site seeing in Baler, our friend from Baler told us that we should go to Philippine Atmospheric Geophysical Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) Weather Station. It was just up a hill and from the base of the hill it would take us only 10 minutes to get there. Little did we know that the Hill was STEEP! with only a single road. Luckily going up there we did not meet with other vehicles that are going down.

So was the ride going up the steep hill worth it? It’s a definite YES! Since we were on top of a hill, the view offers a 360 degree view when you are on top of their building. You can see the Dicasalarin Bay and other parts beaches and islands of Aniao.
