- Location: Tam-awan Village, Pinsao Proper

- Go to the back of the police station in Km.5, Pico, La Trinidad.
- Search for the Jeepney station for longlong. If their is no Jeepney yet ask the conductor (yung ngay nagbibilang at nagkokolekta ng bayad pagsakay sa jeep).
- If their is no available Jeepney the only choice is to call a taxi (maghintay lang kayo sa tabi ng kalsada or if kung may grab app kayo pwede din). It’s hassle fee you only needed to pay for a higher transportation fee. We paid 140.00 pesos going there but this price depends on the traffic, taxi and driver.
- Transportation fee
- Snacks, Food, Water. For me it is better to buy the snacks before hand rather than buying it inside since the food will be more expensive. There is no prohibition of bringing your own food and snacks inside. Just that, if we enter be mindful of where you put your trash, etc.
- Umbrella. There is limited shade so be mindful of the sun and also in case if it will rain.
- Extra Jacket. On the day we went there, we did not expect that it will rain so we waited in a limited shade facing rain shower and the bitter cold. We were lucky to have sits but the others endured standing in the shade for one hour. The best advice would be: “Go there early so you can dodge the rain in the afternoon.” Note: It is not cold there but just in case.
