Itinerary description
|
Short stage but very entertaining. For a long time we drove along roads in very poor condition and very stony. Some sections were so narrow that only two-wheeled vehicles were passing through. It is important that if you advent you on these roads you will do it with a mountain bike and watch a lot, because for hours the route runs through lost jungles where we spent hours without seeing anyone. In case of mechanical problems or accidents it can be very difficult for us to come. We came late because it was raining a few hours in the morning and we waited for it to stop. That is why we found the muddy slopes, but surely they should be like this until the end of December, when the rainy season is over. Aside from that, the forests are wild and spectacular, and from time to time we will go through some totally lonely dream beach and even waterfalls in the middle of the jungle. When we arrived at San Vicente, we spent a long time visiting a beautiful fishing village with a spectacular beach that was a bit further. In San Vicente there were a couple of lodgings, we were at Basio's Place (400 pesos the room, about 6.6 €).
Waypoints
Beach
18 ft
Platja
Beautiful and solitary beach of coconut trees and white sand. There was no type of infrastructure but some guys were building hidden bungalows among coconut trees with the intention that one day it would be a tourist spot. They will have to fix the track a lot.

Waterfall
188 ft
Bighao Falls
Les Bighao Falls are beautiful waterfalls in the middle of the jungle. The truth is that they are not nothing of the other world but they are very close to the main track and next to a small rural village with a couple of shops where to take something. From the village you have to walk for about 10 minutes on a simple path where we had the privilege of being accompanied by a couple of pretty boring children to consider the attraction of the moment.

Búfals d'aigua
In all Palawan practically we did not see any tractor. There, animal force is still used, specifically water buffaloes, which have the advantage over tractors that do not need a minimum age to be driven.

Your description would probably be helpful if it were written in English ;)
Ja ja, in Inglis? si no lo pone ni para los españoles, es lo que tienen las razas superiores.
Buenos días Marikitas, y perdona que te responda tarde porque he andao un poco liao (de hecho el comentario anterior ni lo había visto). Resulta que yo escribo en la lengua que me expreso mejor, que es la que se hablaba en casa y con la que me he criado. Supongo que a ti te debe pasar lo mismo y también debes escribir en español porque debe ser la lengua con la que te expresas mejor. A pesar de eso intento responder en cualquier idioma que más o menos entienda y me pueda expresar, incluso hasta a la gente me falta al respeto. Salud y que tengas un buen día.
