Northern Sierra Madre Mts, Baliuag (Hamut), Peñablanca, Cagayan (Luzon)

Abstract:
Baliuag (Hamut) is a famous site for birders and birding groups with (mostly) secondary forest around Campsite 1 (Palay) and relatively intact dipterocarp forest and mid-mountain forest around Campsite 2 (Hamut). Campsite 1 (Palay) is at the eastern edge of the remaining forest in the Northern Sierra Madre Mountains at an elevation of 500 meters. It is a long 12 km walk over rolling hills that takes about 4 hours from Baliuag. There is almost no cover during the entire walk so it is important to avoid making the walk in mid-day heat. Palay itself is a group of huts at the edge of the forest and just before the trail to Campsite 1. Campsite 2 (Hamut) is a further 15 km walk along forest trails that is mostly uphill and takes 6+hours. Hamut is at about 1500 meters.

Transport from Tuguegarao to Baliuag:
- Jeepney: Tuguegarao to Baliuag (45 minutes)
The jeepney going to Baliuag will depart at the back of Hotel Lorita. Just walk to the Cagayan River and turn right on the first road. The “terminal” is on the left side of the road. There are only 1-2 jeepneys a day and they will depart around 2:00 pm. To avoid waiting, rushing and even a walk in the dark, you can hire a jeepney for 300-500 pesos.
Baliuag to Campsite 1 (Palay):
- On foot: Baliuag to Campsite 1 (4 hrs)
This could be an easy walk if you will forget the mud and the sun. Almost ¾ of the trail is an open grassland and this makes it much more difficult if you have to walk in the heat of the day. The last ¼ is a disturbed forest and steeper than the rest of the Baliuag-Palay trail. Guides and porters are easy to find in Baliuag. Just ask the jeepney passsengers or the waiting shed bystanders (Hamut).
Campsite 1 (Palay) to Baliuag:
- On foot: Campsite 1 (Palay) to Baliuag (4 hrs)
Transport from Baliuag to Tuguegarao:
- Jeepney: Taking a jeepney from Baliuag could be a problem. Only 1-2 jeepneys a day will depart early in the morning! With some luck, you can arrange a habal-habal or private jeepney which can bring you to the main road (National Highway). Otherwise, you have to walk from Baliuag to the main road and wait there for a bus.
Transport from National Highway (location Police Station) to Tuguegarao City:
- National Highway (location Police Station) to Tuguegarao City (30 minutes).

Accommodation Tuguegarao:
Hotel Lorita, Rizal Street, Tuguegarao City.
Accommodation Baliuag (Hamut):
Tent.

Visited birding site:
1) Campsite 1 (Palay)

Campsite 1 (Palay)
Location: Baliuag, Peñablanca, Cagayan Province (Luzon).
Abstract: Forests around Campsite 1 (Palay) are disturbed and snares are found along the trail going uphill to Campsite 2 (Hamut). The weather conditions during my stay were terrible for birding and that made me decide to leave this location a few days earlier than planned. Unfortunately, I didn't make it to Campsite 2.
Difficulty: Easy-moderate (knee-high muddy trails and continuous rain).
