    Greetings,

    My wife and I will be in Pagudpud from January 10 to 12th, 2014. On the 12th of possibly the 13th we will be heading to Tuguegarao. Can we take a bus? Are there buses passing by throughout the day? Does anyone know if we can hire a van in Pagudpud to drive us to Tuguegarao? Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

    1. japoy

      hello sir john…

      Yup sir, GMW buses bound to Tuguegarao and Isabela. Or you can ride on ordinary PUV van’s.

    Hi! Me and my family was planning to go to ilocos, pagudpud. Since my parents are senior and not so sensitive its okay to stay in a simple room or transsient. But, my concern is, we need to rent a van or suv so that we can consume the 3days and 2 nights stay and visit all the tourist spot in vigan and pagudpud. We’re 6 packs. One of that is 10yrs old and te rest are adults 2 are senior citizen. If someone can give me quotation and price for the rent. Please send me email. [email protected]

  12. […] Head to Laoag, Paoay, Burgos, Bangui and Pagudpud […]
