Clark & Angeles City: Guida di viaggio e programma di budget
Come viaggiatore con sede nelle Filippine, Clark è qualcosa che sento sempre. L’aeroporto internazionale di Clark è l’aeroporto in più rapida crescita nel paese, il secondo più trafficato di Luzon e la porta secondaria per Metro Manila. Ma per numerosi viaggiatori, questo è tutto Clark è: un gateway. Numerosi trascura il fatto che Clark stesso e le sue aree circostanti siano una destinazione da sola.
Clark è cambiato nel corso degli anni, ma mantiene le sue caratteristiche senza pretese-ancora sistematiche e rilassate tra i numerosi sviluppi che si sono verificati. Si è riconosciuto come un centro per l’aviazione e gli affari. Viene curato come centro economico integrale nel centro di Luzon. Con la presenza di un numero significativo di stabilimenti educativi, ricreativi e di intrattenimento domestico, Clark si sta preparando per il prossimo grande passo, che include lo sviluppo di Clark Global City.
Ho avuto la fortuna di partecipare all’annuale Trip di Lakbay Norte guidato dal North Philippines Visitors Bureau (NPVB) in collaborazione con Nlex Corporation. Clark era una delle destinazioni incluse nell’itinerario. Questo viaggio è stato anche reso possibile con l’aiuto del Greater Clark Visitors Bureau (GCVB).

Manila a Clark in auto
Opzione 1: attraversoNLEX. If you want to travel at your own pace by bringing your car, you can drive along the length of NLEX until you reach Dau Exit. Pay the toll and make a left turn going to Angeles City. continue driving until you reach the point where you ought to make a best turn going to Clark. This option is ideal for those who like to make a stopover at Angeles City.
Option 2: through NLEX-SCTEX. From NLEX, continue driving until you reach the exit leading to SCTEX. decide the best road option for you based on your itinerary: Clark South (Exit) Interchange is located near the Clark main Gate, while Clark North (Exit) Interchange is near Nayong Pilipino.
The good thing about bringing your own automobile is that you can do stopover and restroom breaks whenever you need to. In our case, we went even more north to have our breakfast at PTT Station’s Café Amazon along SCTEX northbound lane in Bamban, Tarlac. but the interesting part aside from the drinks (try the Iced Thai Milk Tea) and the pastries (I love the Mango Torte and Revel Bar) is PTT’s Restroom 20.

La fattoria di Tibby
I’ve always been interested in farming. In fact, I used to co-own a farm in Quezon, but that’s another story. The Philippines has various arable lands, which makes agriculture a major source of income for so numerous provinces. Still, we import farm products like rice and other vegetables from our neighboring countries.
One of the aims of Tibby’s farm is to raise awareness of the significance of farming to the community and our country. This organic farm is also open to train and educate future farmers, even encouraging young ones to invest in agriculture. As part of its agri-tourism feature, guests can try their hands on harvesting vegetables and fruits in season and feeding livestock.
You can also stay for a night or two inclusive of farm-to-table meals for P1200 per person. The meals included are breakfast, snack, lunch, dinner, and take home snack.

El Kabayo Clark Stables Picnic Grounds
This reminds me of the old western films I viewed in one (or two) of my film classes in UP film Institute years ago. Non troppo tempo fa. Haha! It boasts a replica of an old western town that elicits a rough cowboy feel. You know that common saloon commotion scene? Quella.
It won’t be called El Kabayo without the horses right? here you can delight in horseback riding (guided or not), carriage ride, trail ride, and even riding lessons. The duration depends on you, but they typically offer two – 30 minutes and 60 minutes. They can also accommodate team building events and conferences. The newest feature is the campsite with glamping facilities. Questo è
