1) Say Cheese for the Stalagmites and Stalactites inside Callao Cave
Callao Cave is the premier attraction located in the municipality of Peñablanca, Cagayan. This is a 7-chamber cave and is one of the 300 caves in the area.

The cave is famous for its chapel inside, where 5 couples got married to date.
2) Cruise by the Pinacanauan River
This is one of the river tributaries of the Cagayan River. The river passes through the Callao Caves National Park. It has moderate to medium-quick rapids, making it popular for rafting and kayaking.

3) Chill out with Halo-Halo Caramel
It was commonly observed that most of the Halo-Halo stands here in Cagayan serves Halo-Halo with caramel as a substitute to the usual Leche Flan on top of it. The caramel added a different sweet, gentle stroke in your mouth that complements the ice and milk, together with all other ingredients. This is definitely a must-try here in the hottest province in the country.
Gone in Sixty Seconds
4) Cross the Longest River Bridge in the Philippines
Buntun Bridge is the longest river bridge and is the second longest bridge in the country, measuring 1.098km in distance.
I can run this in 7 minutes, yay!
The bridge was shaking while the motorists were honking at us. They have never seen crazy people walk through it while striking a pose for picture taking.
5) ******-All-You-Can at Hotel Joselina

The hotel is located near the bus stations, fast-food restaurants, gas station, and airport. Get a room for 2 for only Php1,000/night.
value for money
For me this is quite a good deal. The room is spacious for 2. The hotel offers standard amenities – toiletries, towel, air-condition, TV, and WiFi connection, though TV and WiFi reception were poor at the time of our visit. And because there was a cable connection shut down on our last night, we made the most of our stay by taking a ****** every time we got out of our room.

There are 5 bells in the bell tower, which one’s the oldest?
7) Whisper a Prayer at Cathedral of St Peter and Paul
Also known as Tuguegarao Cathedral, this church is located along Rizal Street in Baranggay Centro 10, which is about 10 minutes away from the National Highway. The church’s structure is Baroque style, which is popular among Catholic churches.
Newly painted and under construction
8) Taste the Meaty Pancit Batil Patong
After visiting Tuguegarao Cathedral, head to Jomar’s Panciteria and try ordering a special Pancit Batil Patong. The serving can be shared by 2-3 persons. This unique pancit meal is served with carabao beef broth with egg and vinegar. The noodles are topped with carabao beef, pork liver, mung bean sprouts, crushed chicharon, and poached egg.
This may get you a high blood pressure
9) Take Home Chicharabao and other Cagayan Sweets
The province offers the usual sweet pasalubong like tart, peanut brittle, and yema made from Carabao’s milk. If you are some kind who likes to experiment, try Chicharabao – Cagayan’s version of pork chicharon. It is made of fried Carabao skin, instead of pork. It tastes basically the same as pork, but with lesser grease and salt.
Will you eat these, when you just saw a carabao mud party in Cape Engano?
