Beyond Mountains

Life is a journey.. and ILIJAN has started mine. From the very time I was born through every roads I take with this journey, Ilijan has been and will always be part of it.

I can still remember the early years of my life. Going to the city is not easy then. We have only one passenger jeepney and it will leave Ilijan early in the morning (about 2:00 AM). Yes, it is that early and when you missed that... tomorrow again is your chance. Likewise, the same jeep will accommodate going back passengers after some time in the market.

One alternative way is via the motor boat. Also very early, almost on the same time and likewise on the same way going back to Ilijan.

However, we are still blessed with fresh air, virgin forest, deep blue sea, river, falls and other natural beauties.

Ilijan may be far from the city. In fact you have to endure the rough road going there until finally become concreted through time. For less than an hour of travel from the city, you will not get bored since there are lots of scenic view along the road. As you go get up and get down by the hills, its like your traveling to Baguio City.

And as you come closer to my hometown..you will be more in love with our nature.

Welcome Barangay Ilijan!

That was the view of Ilijan proper lighted by the Ilijan Power Plant.

Ilijan is also blessed with natural water falls. Not one but ten water falls. 

Ilijan Falls (First)

Yes, that is only one of them. The first actually. 

Ilijan Falls (Third)

How could you resist that view?

Ilijan Falls (third)

How about this one? 
Wait, there's more...


And this is the sunset at Ilijan . How do you find it? Really is a God's gift, isn't it?  

Those were  some and few of the many spots in Ilijan. Maybe some other time I will have a chance taking pictures of them for you. but for now, just enjoy the view...and you will feel like in paradise which I believe Ilijan is just a hidden one you've got to discover..and prove it by yourself.
