Aurora Memorial National Park
Aurora Memorial National Park is a protected area of the Philippines located within the Sierra Madre mountain range between the provinces of Nueva Ecija and Aurora in Central Luzon. The park covers an area of 5,676 hectares stretching over 50 kilometers along the scenic Bongabon-Baler road. Established in 1937 by virtue of Proclamation No. 220, the park was dedicated to then First Lady Aurora Aragon Quezon. It had an initial area of 2,356 hectares. By 1941, its size more than doubled to its current area of 5,676 hectares. The maximum altitude of the park is reported to be 1,000 m, so the main forest type inside the park must be lowland dipterocarp, with only limited areas of montane forest. Land uses inside the park include both permanent and shifting agriculture (kaingin) and forestry.

Not the best way to take going to Baler by this time or during rainy season due to possible danger of landslide. The roads are on repair when we passed by,one very rough drive..(it's the route that wazed showed us) . And if you are planning to take this route, be prepared coz there are only few small shops ( sari- sari stores) to buy food just in case you get hungry or thirsty on the way. And make sure your fuel is enough to travel this 50+ km, your vehicle is in great condition and of course your body as well. There's a lot of zigzag so, those people that tends to get dizzy must prepare too . The good thing we've experienced passing this place is we enjoyed peace and quiet driving and the beautiful nature around.

Drove by on 29th December 2018. I couldn't find any recent reviews about passing thru this road as i was always curious. We asked the locals in Baler the road conditions and if it is safe for us to pass. They would all say the roads are very good but advise us to avoid as it recently rained. We followed our instincts and to our surprise the road is 99% concrete and there only like a few cars that we have seen thru almost 100kms of road. It was twisty all the way but the views are spectacular. There are some signa of rockslides and i advise to avoid during heavy rains. Always use the low gear to have better control of your car. A great drive indeed!
