What is the famous zigzag road in the Philippines?

Heads up, adventure seekers! If you're driving between Northern Quezon and the South of the Philippines, you might stumble upon the infamous Atimonan Old Zigzag Road, or as the locals call it, "Bitukang Manok" – Chicken Intestine! Don't let the quirky name fool you; built back in '69 during the Marcos era, this route through Quezon National Park is known for its, shall we say, *challenging* twists and turns.

Think of it as a 15-minute uphill climb where you and your trusty vehicle will be put to the test. The good news? The views are absolutely stunning! Lush greenery surrounds you as you ascend to a higher altitude. But keep your eyes on the road, because this narrow path demands your full attention. You might even need to pull over to let other cars pass!

Word to the wise: this road is extra treacherous in the rain, turning slick and slippery. And if heights aren't your thing, maybe keep your eyes peeled on the path ahead – trust us on this one! You'll spot traffic police keeping watch, but ultimately, your safety is in your hands. Speed isn't your friend here; take it slow, especially around those curves.

Oh, and a little insider info: legend has it that this road is haunted. Spooky stories abound! But whether you believe in the paranormal or not, the high accident rate in the past adds to the eerie vibe. If you're feeling brave, two-wheeling it might be the way to go. You'll have the freedom to stop and soak in the views, and snap those Insta-worthy pics.

If a safer (but slightly longer) route is more your style, there's a New Diversion Road that skips the crazy twists. But if you're up for a thrilling ride and breathtaking scenery, the Old Zigzag Road is an experience you won't soon forget… just be careful out there! And remember that it's prohibited for vehicles over four wheels.
