Dragon fruit is now becoming an industry in Ilocos Norte and the picture above is just one of the dragon fruit farms that I happened to visit. It was my first time to see a dragon fruit plant which looks like a cactus and I learned that it really is a cactus plant bearing fruits at least fives times a year.
This dragon fruit farm is located in Sarrat, Ilocos Norte, at least 20 minutes ride away from Laoag City. It is not accessible through public transport though because it's farther away from the highway but once you're there it's worth the trip. Once you enter the farm for a P10 peso fee, you will be greeted by this amazing landscape - a river, a desert and a mountain all in one backdrop.
It's really a good place to relax although it's quite hot in here specially during summer. There are cottages that you can rent though. Or if you want to get wet, there are swimming pools that can accommodate as least 50 persons.
