The best spot in the Philippines

The most dangerous road in the world Halsema Highway / MT. Olis

Have you seen one of the beautiful roads in the Philippines?, Halsema Highway is one of the highest and most dangerous roads not only in the Philippines but in the whole world.

Let’s go!! Join me on this amazing road trip, so I can take you around this iconic road.

I’ve been through the Halsema Highway once, the road is very scary, one mistake you make is to fall into the cliff

If you want to go, this is one of those unforgettable driving experiences, especially if it’s rainy and you go here, you’ll see how difficult it is.

There are even times when you have to drive for a long time because sometimes there are rocks blocking the road, which fall from the high part of the road.

Another thing that makes the road difficult is that the road is slippery because of the continuous rain, it is extremely dangerous

To the new drivers, don’t try to go here, first practice simple roads for a few years and if you are really good then you can try this road, but it is still up to you if you really want to try it.
