Paoay Sand dunes, 🇵🇭 in Landscape Photography Challenge

Hey @steemit @steemians travelers. This would be my great recommendation for those who are looking for a great ride adventure. I tell you. Donnot go to the Northern Region of the Philippines without experiencing the extreme 4x4 ride adventure of Paoay Sand dunes.

This is supposedly the largest sand area in the Philippines where it can only be seen in Paoay, Ilocos Norte. This place is known as the Africa of the Philippines where a portion of land features a hill of sand near in the ocean that was formed by the winds just like a desert in Africa.

This is commonly known as Paoay Sand Dunes where you can roved around the little desert of the North through a 4x4 extreme ride adventure or an ATV Ride. But I recommend you to choose the 4x4 for a more exciting ride. It is not just a ruler coaster ride that would made you puke after the ride, nor disarranged your intestine. Hahaha. A kind of extreme ride that has a unique ride trail going up and down of the high hill that would really make you feel crazy and make you think to die. Hahah. This is really a must to experience. For just one hour for P500.00 is very satisfying.

So here I came. I am a solo traveler who loves wandering and meeting new people from different places around the world. Ofcourse, It is inevitable for me not to meet and find new friends.

During my trip to Ilocos I have met some group of teachers from the province of Quezon. So they have been my companion for a 3-day trip.

And here we came. After an hour of ride we stopped in the middle of the sand dunes for picture taking purposes. During that time, a lot of travelers have occupied the place that made you feel like being in a crowded busy city because of so many tourists looking for this adventure.

We took photos with my new friends.

Then after for an abrupt rest we continued exploring the place, ofcourse with the 4x4 ride.

We came in to the sand boarding where you will experience trying a more deadly adventure. This time you will be scating from the highest point of the hill going down by just sitting in the board or to some they used to stand. Sitting in the board would be more safer than to stand. So, most of the tourists prepares to sit on tge board. This time all you need is just a proper balancing of your body not to step out of the board.

Some of my companion tries the adventure. But some others including me prepare to watch and take some documentation. Hahahaa. I have a lot of excuses since that time I am also wearing a short shorts, and a white t-shirt. Haahaha. Just avoiding for a sandy dirt color. 👻

Since we are catching the sun set. So we have waited for an hour and made some rests. We took photos in different dimensions along a small hill featuting the sunset.

In general, the Paoay Adventure is really a great experience especially for those who are in escape from busy life and toxic city. This is a must for everyone who loves nature and adventure and ofcourse we cannot deny the fact that some other individuals used to travel aside from the self satisfaction but also for social media satisfaction. Posting it where will you go to the social community would boast someones personality by updating your status and letting them aware of where will you have been and giving them some guides and itineraries from the places you visited.

On my part, sharing my experiences in travel would not just giving information to others on the basis of what I have experienced but also to help others and let the readers influenced by my blogs and messages I made through Social Media.

Hope you like it guys.

enjoy wandering
