Exploring Lake Rio Cuarto: The Deepest Lake in Costa Rica

November 5, 2025 by A Couple for the RoadLeave a Comment

Lake Rio Cuarto is the deepest lake in Costa Rica and truly a hidden gem. I haven't seen pictures or heard of this place prior to me visiting. Most tourists never end up here, unless they stay at the exact same eco lodge I stayed at, Hotel Del Bosque. They arrange all the tours on this lake and carry people to and from the hotel and the lake. We already rented a car for the duration of our trip and we just drove there ourselves. If you'd like to … [Read more...]

Chasing Sunsets in Zambales

November 1, 2025 by Junfil OlarteLeave a Comment

The minibus wound its way along the National Highway, leaving Manila's concrete jungle behind as the landscape gradually transformed into a tapestry of green fields and distant mountains. I was headed to Zambales, a province on the western coast of Luzon that had long captured my imagination with promises of pristine beaches and hidden coves. After four hours of travel, the familiar salt-tinged breeze of the West Philippine Sea welcomed me to … [Read more...]

Visiting Mt. Lassen National Park

October 15, 2025 by Oliver AaquistLeave a Comment

A part of the Cascades range, Mt. Lassen is a dormant volcano outside of Chester, California. While the volcano is considered dormant, it last erupted in 1915 and has many geologically active features, such as mud pots and hot springs. During the winter, this park is nearly inaccessible due to snowfall, but from late spring to early fall, it is a paradise for outdoor explorers and day trippers alike. Much of Mt. Lassen National Park can be … [Read more...]

Abra: The Hidden Charms of Highland Culture

October 10, 2025 by Junfil OlarteLeave a Comment

The morning air carried the scent of pine as our jeepney navigated the winding roads of Cordillera. My destination, Abra Province, remained largely unknown to international travelers—a hidden gem in Northern Luzon, Philippines. As we climbed higher into the mountains, leaving behind the tourist-filled streets of Baguio City, I found myself wondering what secrets this remote province might hold.

Ifugao: Terraced Legacy

September 20, 2025 by Junfil OlarteLeave a Comment

The morning mist clung to the mountains as our car wound its way up the narrow road from Banaue town. I pressed my face against the window, eager for my first glimpse of what UNESCO had declared a World Heritage site, what locals had farmed for over 2,000 years, and what many call the "Eighth Wonder of the World"—the Ifugao rice terraces. The province of Ifugao sits in the Cordillera mountain range of Northern Luzon in the Philippines, a … [Read more...]
