By definition, a lagoon means an area of salt water separated from the sea or ocean by a reef. As the Blue Lagoon in Palanan is far from any body of sea water, this definition immediately dismisses the assumption that it is a lagoon. Based on what I have observed, I consider the “Blue Lagoon” as a lake, which is defined as an area filled with water surrounded by land. But for the purpose of helping promote this wonderful body of water through this travel blog, we’re going to call it by its name – Blue Lagoon.
Location: Blue Lagoon, Palanan, Isabela
WHERE IS THE BLUE LAGOON?
The Blue Lagoon is located in Bgy. Villa Robles (as mentioned at the start), which is about 4 to 5 kilometers away from the town proper of Palanan. It is not that far if you’re going to consider the distance per se, but because the roads connecting these two places are rough, the travel going here via tricycle can take you about 30 minutes or more.
PATHWAY. You’d have to walk through mud going to the Blue Lagoon especially if it has rained the night before or early in the morning.
After reaching the jump-off point, you’d have to walk for about 10 to 15 minutes to reach the lagoon. Even from a distance, I was immediately awed by its standout color and unexplainable allure. When I finally reached it, I could honestly say that the Blue Lagoon is one of the most beautiful bodies of water that I’ve ever seen!
