This is backpacking style, not a packaged tour event. We invite you to join our DIY hike in Ilocos Sur’s Historical Peak, The Tirad Pass, wherein Gregorio Del Pilar once battled and defended the said place from being held captive by Americans. Towering at 1388+, with the difficulty of 5/9 (Pinoy Mountaineer), the historical place is now a National Park wherein one can relive the epic moments of the Spanish Era in the trails of Tirad Pass.
