BALER | Places to go | Where to eat | City Tour | Family Vacation | Costa Pacifica | Aurora Province

Our family had a chance to spend a vacation in Baler, Aurora and this is the first time for all of us. We stayed in Costa Pacifica Resort. We need to make early reservation as this is Christmas season.
Baler is approximately 6-7 hours drive from Manila. We took the TPLEX-CLLEX-Panabangan Route. I believe this is the shortest route going to Baler.
This trip is by far the longest twisties I have ever driven in 4 wheels. If you think that Baguio has a lot of zigzag roads, it’s just 10% of what you will experience going to Baler so you need to practice your driving skills here. We just used Waze app going to and from Baler and touring around the area.
In this video, we would like to share our experience - the places we’ve been to, the restaurants we went to.
First night, we ate at Yellowfin Restaurant, the place was full. We encountered a little problem here as it took aost an hour before our food was served. Only to find out that they forgot preparing our order. Maybe because the place was so full and the servants were toxic. Too bad we had that experience even if the ratings in websites are high. For us it was 5/10.
Day 2 - We did a half day tour around Baler and it was a DIY type of tour. I just searched for nice places to go to, did a little navigation on travel time and planned for our itinerary.
Here are the places we went to:
1. Millenium Tree - 30mins drive from Costa Pacifica
2. Diguisit Falls - 45 minutes from Millenium Tree
3. Hanging Bridge - 15 minutes away from Diguisit Falls
4. Baler Town: Museo de baler, Dona Aurora Quezon house, Baler monument - 20 minutes away from Hanging Bridge
After the half day tour, we ate at Kubli Bar recommended by one of the staff of Costa Pacifica. Food was great. 8/10 rating.
Although we did not try to surf, you know that Baler is a place for surfing.
Weather is great around December though you will not feel the summer vibes since it is generally cold weather ranging from 22-25 degree celsius.
Hope you enjoy the video.
