Road Trip through Bitukang Manok


If Baguio has its famous winding Kennon road, the province of Bicol also has its unique “zigzag road” known as Bitukang Manok. Like Kennon, Bitukang Manok also offers an adrenaline-pumping experience to anyone who passes through this steep road. Besides that, it offers a wonderful view from way up as well.

Road Trip through Bitukang Manok

If Baguio has its famous winding Kennon road, the province of Bicol also has its unique “zigzag road” known as Bitukang Manok. Like Kennon, Bitukang Manok also offers an adrenaline-pumping experience to anyone who passes through this steep road. Besides that, it offers a wonderful view from way up as well.

For those who are curious exactly where Bitukang Manok is, it is one of the two ways to get to Bicol from Quezon. The other way is the longer but safer road which the buses use and is a part of Maharlika Highway.

If you are planning a trip to Bicol and experience the very steep road of Bitukang Manok, make sure that you have all the safety precautions to have a safe trip. Along with the excitement of going through the winding road, you get the chance to catch some amazing sights too, so don’t forget to bring cameras and just snap away to your heart's content.

Note: To get up the zigzags, there are people who will be waving flags of red or green telling you if it's your turn.
