Spent the weekend in Camarines Norte. Camped out at Mahabang Buhangin beach in Calaguas where there’s no electricity, no cellphone signal (except for a “phone booth” – a patch on top of a hill that barely detects a signal). Just perfect white sand, clear waters and nature at its best.

Other highlights: I got to try kayak-surfing against the waves in Mercedes, visited scenic waterfalls in Malatap, successfully surfed in Bagasbas Beach, and took a dip in the Mampurog river. Still trying to beat a whole lot of article deadlines but will be posting about the different activities from this trip soon.
For updates and other photos, please like Travel Up on Facebook. Stay tuned!

That place is truly awesome Kara. Next time, please do visit our island which is almost in front of Bagasbas beach.
Cam Norte is a yet untapped eco tourism place.
Thanks for the invite Pepi. Glad to see that Cam Norte is really pushing for eco-tourism in the area. There are so many great places there. Hope to meet you one of these days!
ayos, sakto parehas tayo ng mga pupuntahan.. Calaguas, Malatap Falls, Bagasbas.

Thanks Ivan. Sobrang saya ng Calaguas! Here’s some useful info on some of the sites in CamNorte on the Choose Philippines website, including Malatap Falls:
Enjoy your trip there!
