Going
the Distance: Turn Your Backpacking Adventures into a Once in a Lifetime Foodie Experience
Backpacking has gained
momentum in recent years. With the steady rise of budget airfare and
accommodations, more and more are adapting to this latest traveling trend.
Jumpstarting a backpacking lifestyle is not difficult, and you can start right
here in the Philippines.
Backpacking is made more
special in the Philippines because aside from seeing breathtaking sights, you can
also enjoy the many delicacies of different places. With the destinations
below, you’re off to a great backpacking and foodie adventure.
Begin your adventure with a
road trip to Ilocos, Northern Luzon. With reasonably priced food and inns, it
is easy to just get up and go. What makes the road trip worth it is not just
its beautiful architecture and beaches but also its prime dishes. Backpackers
always find great thrill in trying famous dishes like bagnet, pinakbet,
dinardaraan, and pok-pokolo. And if you have another destination after Ilocos,
make sure to pack a few empanadas in your kit – they are worth the space.
Lake
Sebu, South Cotabato, Mindanao
If you are a fan of
waterfalls and huge lakes, Lake Sebu, South Cotabato, Mindanao is the way to
go. With the many budget airline trips available, getting to Lake Sebu doesn’t
take much out of you. Native dishes, and the longest zipline in the country
await adventure seekers. Foodies will get a kick of its healthy dishes since
the region is known for its rich fishing grounds. Lake Sebu is known for its
tilapia dishes, and a visitor must never miss on trying this. The also region
boasts of delectable tuna dishes since neighboring town General Santos is the
Tuna Capital of the country. Adventure-seekers should try their crispy tuna
buntot, tuna chicharon, and kinilaw.
Baguio
City
Another favorite of
backpackers is Baguio City. Known for its lush pine trees and amazingly cold
weather all year round, Baguio also offers a lot of unique treats. Backpackers
shouldn’t miss out on Etag (a smoked pork chop), Pinikpikan (chicken), Kintoman
(rice grown by Itogon tribesmen), and Pinuneg (blood sausage). Baguio is also
known for its strawberries and yummy desserts like peanut brittle and ube jam.
With many historical places, a backpacker will not run out of things to do in
this city.
