My first trip to Cagayan Valley was in 2011, and it was a short trip because of several different reasons. This week's trip was also short but we were able to visit more attractions, and we were able to bond with more family members.
Touchdown: TUG
We arrived Tuguegarao at 12:25 p.m and we stayed at my betterhalf's place at Brgy. Leonarda Consuelo Heights Subd in Tuguegarao City. It's just 15 minutes away from the airport.
There are many different resorts within Tuguegarao and other nearby towns. For those who wish to enjoy the beach, resorts within Sta Ana area, which is approximately 3 hours away from the airport, are available.
Our first destination was Callao Cave located at Penablanca, Cagayan, It is 45 minutes away from the city center. To get into the cave, you must take the concrete stairs which is 184 steps from the main entrance.
The cave has 5 chambers, and we were guided by Ann, a fifteen-yr old local who knows how to play with our camera and was able to capture good shots inside the cave.
After the cave, we went to the river just about 30 steps from the main entrance.
Boats can be rented at 500php which can accommodate 25 pax if you wish to stroll down the clearest part of the Cagayan river aka "Pinakanawan River".
After some pasalubong shopping, we went to visit the Holy Guardian Angel Parish in Tuao, where Uncle Sam is the monsignor. We stopped by for lunch and had a chance to see the 400 angels adorning the church in preparation for its 400 years celebration.
Next stop: Piat and Iguig :)
