Banawe to Sagada Trip

[roydok]

Our group plans on going to the Banawe Rice Terraces then from there proceed to Sagada via the Banawe Bontoc Road. We will be having a 3 vehicle convoy with one vehicle a Kia Picanto the others are a L200 pick-up and a Besta Van. We are not sure of road conditions. Makakarating kaya kami sa Sagada?

Thanks.

Kia Picanto? I think makakadating naman pero kawawa yun Picanto. Bawal ba iwan nalang yun? Not sure pero I remember some parts not suitable for cars kasi may sasayad sa ilalim na mga rocks. We went there before, it was a three car convoy also. Expedition, Trailblazer and Urvan. There were some roads were rocks in the middle of the road was hitting some of the components underneath the Chevy.

Not sure of the conditions now but these photos were back in '08 around feb to march.

Parang mahihirapan ang Kia Picanto. Maraming part ng daan ang rough road at may mga matatarik na akyatan. Minsan may mga malalaking bato pa na madadaanan. Mas maganda yung medyo mataas ang ground clearance ng sasakyan. At kung naulanan pa yung daan mas mahirap lalo na at may paparating na bagyo.

Hanep ang Ganda!!! Next trip I'm gonna go there!!!

Sa TS better not bring the picanto, kakaawa under pinnings nun. might be a source of premature wear. And it might get stuck along the way. If your bent on bringing it, try to bring a tow rope to be on the safe side...

Forget the Picanto, sakit lang ng ulo yan. Di yan makakarating, ang liit ng gulong tapos dadaan sa rough terrain ? Sus, tirik aabutin niyan ...

Hehehe. Kung ako sainyo, bring the largest and baddest SUV's that you have, kung pick up mas better. ;)

Been there, my 4th actually, just this MArch. kaya naman ng picanto, wala naman off camber road dun up to the town proper...hehehe. just go slow when you guys take the turn off up to sagada. and be sure to have a good and properly inflated spare tire.

I intend to go to sagada... My out of town car is a camry... But i also have a mitsubishi asx 2wd, which is a much smaller car... And not exactly a suv... Family of 5... What car should i bring?

Or both cars are not recommended :-(

Thanks!

Last na punta ko 2010 sa sagada may nakasabay kami na vios na for registration. Tinanong ko sa driver kung kaya naman sabi nya kunting gasgas lang sa bumper nakuha nya pero kaya naman daw ng vios.

Nakadyip kasi kami kaya worry-free tour. Itsek mo lang sir kung anong oras yung fog baka abutan ka total no visibility kasi yun.
