START YOUR JOURNEY FROM AMPUCAO- STA.FE RIDGE
As you go along this adventure, you'll set foot on four peaks. Every peak has its own uniqueness; you'll always get thrilled and excited as you challenge your way up.
A. Amabanao Paoay - grassy terrain and some tiny rock formations (you can make one too).
B. Gungal- after the grassy zones, you'll be walking on rocky paths, with some trees around. Here you'll meet people lining up to have their photos taken on the ever famous rock formation.
C. Mt. Ulap - THE SUMMIT! It was named by Mr. Lagman, whose remain lies on top. This is where you get to embrace the ULAP (clouds).
D. Pong-ol Burial Caves- unfortunately, they had this closed because of irresponsible hikers.
***You'll be passing by some hanging bridges until you reach the exit point.
ONE MORE THING: "Respect the nature, and it will respect you."
Happy Hiking
