NUEVA ERA, ILOCOS NORTE

Nueva Era, officially the Municipality of Nueva Era, is a 3rd class municipality in the province of Ilocos Norte. It is one of the Indigenous Cultural Community of the province. Just like Adams, Ilocos Norte

They call this place "Lugar ti agkamkamat ti ugsa"(The place of deer hunters) because the people love exotic food and this place main dish is venison (the meat of a deer) which is very expensive if you buy it. Aside from venison they also love to eat pork - a wild boar meat. They mention that the meat of a wild boar is a bit sweeter with notes of nuttiness and a clean taste that's neither gamey nor greasy. Since Nueva Era is a place surrounded by rain forest and mountains, their main source of income and food is to hunt in the forest.


WHAT ELSE CAN NUEVA ERA OFFER US?

The mountains and breathe taking views. If you love to hike, if you love the sound of silence and you're a nature lover then this place is perfect for you. Its mountains is a
great place for hiking and mountain climbing and its wild life
is evidently rich.


  • It was 45 minutes - 1 hour drive to reach the peak and when you reached it and go beyond, meaning you are no longer in Ilocos Norte but in Abra Province.

Hi! Stumbled upon your post because you were also featured by @steemitfamilyph. Your post looks great. I've never heard of Nueva Era before though this place deserves a lot more popularity because the place looks amazing.

Hello! These scenes are amazingly like the coastal mountain ranges of California. It's like a mirror across the ocean.
