SALCEDO, ILOCOS SUR

Kakalkaldingan / Bago Resort
     About 20 mins from main road (via Candon City) or about 30 mins (via Sta. Lucia, Ilocos Sur). This is the very first man-made pool with natural spring water in the Province of Ilocos Sur. It has two pools (for kids & adults) and is chlorine-free. The natural spring water is coming from the falls of Mount Madarang. The water is flowing so it's really clean. There are cottages and tables for people who are visiting. You can also cook your own food or bring your own, it can work either way. Feel free to bring your own drinks too if you want and the entrance fee is wallet-friendly, Php 30-40 per head or sometimes free! The cottage and table's rent range is Php 50-150.00 only. The Grand Buaya River is also a few steps down the resort so if you feel like it, feel free to go. And the Bago Falls of Mount Madarang is an hour hike from the resort if you're feeling adventurous! The mountains of Madarang, Baybayading and Kinmarin are very nice spots for hikers and has been visited frequently by trekkers and mountaineers since it is the gateway leading to the historical sites of Tirad Pass! The man-made woods surrounding the pools adds sophistacation to the ambiance and it'll give you the feeling of trying something new.

  2. tried the sta lucia salcedo road from brgy barangobong it is very hard to go there almost 18 kilometer before we reach there.the road is so narrow almost a one way road in the mountain and prone to land slide parang buwis buhay not recommended for family but for barkadas maybe okay.. in return i tried the candon salcedo road it almost the same i reach 20 kilometer before i hit the main highway... my suggestion?? if your wiling to spend almost 40 kilometer of your vehicle back and fro then go just take precaution on landslide prone mountain on side and ravine on the other side not to mention it is very narrow road and no police on site....
