Ilocos Norte’s best kept secret is out. Yes, paradise does exist, and it is named Adams. This little town, which used to be hidden from the rest of the world, is a study of superlatives. Located at the Northeastern end of the province, Adams has a population of 1400. It is a haven of peace and tranquility with a zero crime rate which makes it an ideal place to live. The following images will best describe this idyllic place:
paradise found
ancient, but sturdy hanging bridge
scarlet in bloom
a broom maker
durable tiger grass "walis"
exotic baby rambutans
the charming Sitio Sinidangan
Barbados cherry
fresh from the wilderness
rare pitcher plant
flowers of May
... perhaps, the lost horizon.
wild bloom
Yapayaos
coffee berries
the art of tapuey making
the wine maker and her product
the friendly local dog, Argo
wild aba and cacao
make my day...
rubber-tubing adventure
the Kankanaeys
the sweetest bananas ever
downstream
blacksmithing
the only modern structure in Adams, a cell site... paradise indeed!
