While we were cruising along North Luzon Expressway, news about a Magnitude 7 earthquake with an epicenter in Abra started to flood social media platforms. Pictures started coming in of heritage sites in Ilocos being damaged by the earthquake, making us wonder if Las Casas had suffered a similar fate.
Lunch was served at Del Rio, the house next door to Casa Tuguegarao. While we were enjoying our meal of Paella, fish, egg and Potato frittata, Jorge Vilanova, Las Casas Consultant and General Manager, took time out from his terribly busy schedule to welcome the group.To go around Las Casas, you have to be prepared to do a lot of walking and if you are lucky, you can take the jeep, the only mode of transport allowed within Las Casas.
If there is one place that you should visit at Las Casas, it’s Hotel De Oriente where you get to see the intricate woodwork that is incorporated into the walls, floors, and ceiling. We proceeded to Casa Lubao where we enjoyed a kalesa ride. We passed by an old structure that was brought from the University of the Philippines in Manila. Not content with the kalesa ride, Haydee drove us around the compound this time on a golf cart where we got to see more of Las Casas.After everyone had their turn on the kalesa ride, we made our way to two neighboring resorts. The first was Rancho Bernardo Luxury Villas and Resort, tagged as the first luxury mountain resort in Bataan.
Upon our return to Las Casas, we got the chance to enjoy the Balsa Cruise and saw the many murals carved out across the river by the craftsmen and artists. Unfortunately, we had to cut short the Balsa Cruise because of the low tide.
