This was taken in Ibulao River, Kiangan. Not many have rafted or even know of this river (I think) and as the photos on the slideshow below exhibits, it is a fantastic 3 hours of rafting experience with a view so impressive. An interesting place rich in history, Kiangan is believed to be the first human settlement in Ifugao. This is also where Ifugao and American troops helped force General Yamashita to make his informal surrender in World War II.
We stayed in a charming hostel owned by the Kalugdans, I remember the food to be superb. This was a special trip organized by Adventures and Expedition Philippines Inc. (AEPI) to explore the river. They have since run several trips running the upper portion of the river. Definitely worth a try.
This has been my entry to That’s My World. Go visit and find other worlds here.

I have always wanted to go rafting. It looks like it was wonderful for you.
Please be so kind to put your country with your name when linking from the My World site. I’m fixing it for you today.
Thanks so much!!

Louise, sorry about that. I realized that after I hit return and I didn’t know how to correct after. Thanks. And yes, rafting has always been my adrenalin fix. 🙂
babooshka, you should try it, it is indeed so much fun!
Lantaw, go try it. You should also go try rafting the chico river as well, it’s a longer stretch and really wild on high season. You may also get in touch with Anton Carag at 09175327480 or email him at anton@whitewater.ph
Sidney, you can try it during the tamer months, perhaps sometime in Aug, Sep or Feb when the water isn’t as wild. Fun guaranteed. 🙂
