travelling to magallanes

magallanes maybe considered as a less traveled paradise but once you got there, it's worth it...a great adventure i must say. from manila, it usually takes about 14 hours by bus...you can either choose going there straight without transferring from one ride to another..along edsa, pasay rotonda, you can se there a busline (GOLDLINE) that goes straight to magallanes. P800 for the bus ride, no airconditioning so make sure to carry face towels if you dont want to get soaked in sweat fot the rest of the journey...4 stopovers from manila and a couple of hours sleep then you arrive there...if you'll be in a plane, P2000 for the airfare but if you book early you might get it for less, and its a 45 mins flight. you'll be touching down legaspi city,then from there you have to take a ride going to sorsogon city, van or jeepney whichever is convenient for you. fare ranges from P40-60. from sorsogon, you'll be taking another jeep going to magallanes.just look for singages because you might be riding a different route. P50 for the fare and almost 2hrs of travelling then you'l be seeing magallanes.sometimes the fare varies.it really depends on the fuel price changes...have a great day eveyone!!!!
