Nature Adventure At Bag-Angan Farm Resort
Aside from being a blogger, I also have a full-time job as a Public Relations Manager and as a part-time social media manager. Aside from the demands of my work, I am also a mom to two adorable boys. Although I feel lucky to be doing home-based jobs, at times, I feel exhausted, to the point of losing my interest in my daily routine. Whenever I reached this point, I know that it’s time for a holiday. Somewhere away from the busy city life, not minding deadlines, and being on hiatus on social media at least for a day or two.
Being able to discover Bag-Angan Farm and Resort has refreshed my mind. It is a must-visit place for those who are so stressed out and wanted to escape the hustle of their daily city life. Bag-Angan Farm is located in Barangay Guisican, Labo, Camarines Norte.
Our journey started with a rough road adventure, with frequent bumps that will make you scream on top of your lungs. But after almost an hour of the truck ride, you will be rewarded with nothing but a stress-free atmosphere.
Bag-Angan Farm is a secluded property owned by the Bacer family. The concept is back to basic where there is no electricity and internet connection.
The farm consists of a nipa hut accommodation, man made a freshwater pool with the mountains as the backdraft. Every corner is worth capturing and the view is breathtaking.
3 Things To Do In Bag-Angan Farm
1. Reconnect with nature
The beautiful scenery disconnects you to the social media world while reconnecting you to Mother Nature.
The pool is surrounded with greens which makes it even more relaxing. The entire place is surrounded with trees, mountains, and body of water. Every spot literally looks like a post card so take lots of photos!
2. Cave adventure at Bag-Angan Cave
Those who are up for an adventure, you may want to consider trekking and visiting Bag-Angan Cave. Don’t forget to bring hiking or trekking shoes as you need to walk miles and cross the river. It took us almost an hour before we finally reached the cave. It’s a bit scary at first but there is a spot inside where you can take nice photos.
There were many bats we encountered while we were trying to find our way out. Overall experience is ok but I won’t recommend to those who are claustrophobic or those who have an extreme fear of darkness.
3. Enjoy local dishes
Just like every province and town in the Philippines, Bicol has so many delectable dishes to offer. Aside from Laing or dried gabi leaves in coconut milk, I also liked Sinantol.

Of course, roasted liempo and crispy pata will always be the star!
