Well I scanned your post, then I learned that Cervantes-Bontoc van is non-existent na pala (though there is a jeep plying a direct Cervantes-Bontoc route that departs daily at 5:30 am except Thursday). So I have to update this post to be more helpful for other trip planners. Thanks din sa info on your post, I'll grab some tidbits ha?

You must be in Bitalag Junction by 7am.<br />3. The earliest van going to Cervantes (from Bitalag) is 7am, or 8am. But better it you'll be here by 7am. Bitalag junction to Cervantes is 2 - 2.5 hours.<br />4. From Cervantes, ride on a Bontoc-bound van. I think the last trip to Bontoc is 1pm. Cervantes to Bontoc is roughly 2 hours. <br /><br />Enjoy! It is roughly 6 hours to Bontoc from Vigan (waiting time in van terminals not included)Edmar del Castillo Guquibhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11963289345260592053noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5563096101372876635.post-66085731750069517882013-09-05T14:56:33.070+08:002013-09-05T14:56:33.070+08:00hi! thank you for this entry re vigan-bontoc route...hi! thank you for this entry re vigan-bontoc route. i'm planning to do the same in the next couple of weeks. how early do we leave vigan so we can be in bontoc within the day, catch the van from cervantes to bontoc? and how many van trips are there? we don't have that much time to explore sagada and banaue, before going to manila, i was hoping to be able to visit sagada early morning the next day and be in banaue after. do you think that's possible? thank you!!!Don and Ji Beloyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00121170154767475437noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5563096101372876635.post-63678073426376148012013-09-02T21:39:45.425+08:002013-09-02T21:39:45.425+08:00Levis | Thank you so much for reading.

Until 3 days ago, I just learned that I have an ancestry from Bontoc! It feels great to know about that! Oh well, my great grandparents (paternal) were from Bontoc!<br /><br />That is probably the reason why I feel so welcomed when I went there! I wish I could be back there, again :)Edmar del Castillo Guquibhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11963289345260592053noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5563096101372876635.post-43123543490769078962013-09-02T21:37:08.054+08:002013-09-02T21:37:08.054+08:00Anonymous | Undoubtedly :) The Igorot culture and ...<b>Anonymous</b> | Undoubtedly :) The Igorot culture and heritage is just sooo rich!Edmar del Castillo Guquibhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11963289345260592053noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5563096101372876635.post-78877062895648052282013-09-02T17:09:35.861+08:002013-09-02T17:09:35.861+08:00I didn't know it was this interesting history ...I didn't know it was this interesting history kind in Alab. I stayed there for 2 years when I was a kid. We enjoyed swimming under that bridge, climbed that mountain to "Uma" (where the stone carvings are) to plant/harvest in the rice field, and many more experiences. I'm not aware that these activities we do back then are being longed for by people living in the cities. And when I came here in the lowlands (Pangasinan and Tarlac to be specific) to work, I discovered that most lowlanders doesn't know about Igorot people. Maybe because they seldom hear about the Igorots or maybe during their history subjects, Igorot were not even mentioned. And now, through your awesome adventures, your effort of sharing your discoveries, our Kababayans are being acquainted about us, Igorots. So, Kudos to you Edmar!! Mabuhay ka, kabsat!

It has been a dream for me because I want to make Mt. Province as my playground. A lot of things I missed to see pa like Maligcong rice terraces, kaman-utek, can-eo village at marami pang iba! I will be back for sure via Cervantes. It cuts the trip shorter conveniently kasi eh! <br /><br />Cheers po and Agbiag dagiti umili ti Mt. province!
