This Bataan journey begins in the provincial capital, pauses at the wetlands, climbs toward the national shrine on Mount Samat, then crosses toward the heritage buildings of Las Casas and the conservation coast of Morong. The stops give the drive a clear progression: civic center, nature, national history, architectural heritage and coastline.
