-Basilica of our Lady of Charity-


The Basilica, which was built in 1892 after a severe earthquake, is probably the most beautiful church in La Union. It has a Shrine of Our Lady and is the most important place of pilgrimage in the province during Holy Week.

The church is indeed very beautiful. In fact, it is one of the most beautiful churches I’ve been to. No wonder why a lot of couples choose the Basilica as the venue for them to hold their solemn wedding ceremonies.

-Pugad Adventure-











The province of La Union is popularly known for its fine beaches. But it is fast becoming more than these fine beaches and its monicker as the surfing capital of the Ilocos. “Pugad” which means bird’s nest is one reason for this transformation.


Pugo, a municipal town of La Union is the site of the newly opened adventure and recreation destination in Ilocos. This picturesque destination with more than 3 hectares of lush mountain and clean river is called PUGAD or Pugo Adventure.

Zip Line Adventure

For adventure seekers, PUGAD offers a new kind of adventure. For instance, you can fly high like a bird with its zip line facility. Pugad boasts the longest zip line (380 meters) in Luzon. It is reportedly 2nd in the entire Philippine archipelago. As of this date, two more zip lines are in the pipe line to provide visitors a much better view of the entire scenery.

Rapelling, wall climbing and trekking

If you would like to test your stamina, try its breath taking rappelling and wall climbing facilities. Trekking in the area is also fun because of its natural sceneries. The place is endowed with a clean river and sloping terrain that flows right at the heart of the village of Kagaling. 

All terrain vehicle driving

Are you looking for a unique driving experience? PUGAD offers all terrain vehicle driving adventure. You do not need to be a professional driver to try this driving adventure and tour around the premises. PUGAD is a three-hectare land in the peaceful barangay of Palina.

Swimming pool and other facilities

For a relaxing atmosphere, enjoy PUGAD’s crystal clear swimming pool suitable for children and adults. For the meantime, PUGAD caters to team-building and to small-group activities while the cottages, function hall and main building are still under construction.

To assist guests in the different facilities and to ensure an enjoyable and safe adventure, PUGAD maintains a pool of well-trained personnel and state-of-the-art equipment . 

PUGAD is 300 meters away from the Marcos Highway Pugo La Union after a 30 minute drive from Baguio and about an 1 hour ride from San Fernando City La Union. For those coming from Manila, travel by land can take around 4-5 hours.

-My Christmas Vacation-


After a months of school life finally a I got my Christmas break. After the school Christmas party the next day I went to a trip to Agoo, La Union with my brother were we met our relatives. I was so excited and happy during the trip on the way to La union. But ironically when I got there I don’t know what will I do first, I don’t know how and where I will start my vacation activities. So after a day of rest my cousins and I went to different places in Baguio, Pugad Adventure. Sightseeing, mall hopping, food trip and a lot more, I celebrate Christmas there away from my family but still it was a happy Christmas. After Christmas I still stayed at Agoo in my grandmother’s house. I also welcome the New Year in La union with my relative there and after the New Year I went back in my hometown. It was a tiring but happy vacation, another vacation that I will cherish and remember a nice break for me as I go back to the reality of school life again.
