Short story on how pagudpud got it's name: 
Local: May Dalwang mag amang Foreigner ang pumunta sa dulo ng luzon, sobrang gutom na yung anak kaya nag hanap sila ng makakainan nakakita sila ng kainan at habang nakain sila may dalawa namang mag kaibigan ang dumayo sa lugar na ito at hindi nila alam ang pangalan ng lugar tinanong nya sa kasama nya "asan na ba tayo?" tas narinig nila ung dalawang mag ama na kumakain at sabi nung anak sa tatay nya "PA GOOD FOOD" at sabi nung dalawang mag kaibigan "AH NASA PAGUDFUD TAYO"... it still makes me smile every time i tell this story. Thank you to the local driver who told the story to us :)

Sand dunes

La Paz Sand Dunes
Laoag, Ilocos Norte, Philippines


Kodak time with Sir tootsie :)
4x4 ride was a heck of a ride, it is like a roller coaster ride but without seat belts, it will make your heart drop, requires you to stand at the back to make your ride more intense and fun.
A heart pounding and thrilling ride at the heart of ilocos norte that you must no miss.



 Step 1: Get a sand board, it has a bind belt that attached the feet to the board.
Step 2: waxed it, use to increase the speed of your ride.


Step 3 : buckle up and ride the sand

Good thing we do skate boarding, skim boarding and surfing, it is more easy for us when it comes to balancing, but the drop was to steep and scary plus the sand was to hot. It takes a lot of courage for me before trying he ride. :)


This is where you can do your sand boarding and 4x4 ride.


Short fact about Sand Dune by Encyclopedia,It is any accumulation of sand grains shaped into a mound or ridge by the wind under the influence of gravity.
