Ilocos Tour: Pagudpud

On our second day, we travelled through Pagudpud, Ilocos Norte where in it  was mostly nature sightseeing.





We have gone to the famous Bangui Wind Farm located in Bangui, Ilocos Norte.
The wind farm uses 20 units of 70-metre (230 ft) high Vestas V82 1.65 MW wind turbines, arranged on a single row stretching along a nine-kilometer shoreline off Bangui Bay, facing the West Philippine Sea. Source: Wikipedia



Kapurpurawan Rock Formation in Burgos is another amazing yet unique attraction because of its creamy white rock formations. "Puraw" in Ilocano means "white". You can view the Burgos wind farm here, the second wind farm in Ilocos. Horse back riding is also available to explore more of the place if you don't feel like trekking.


 We didn't go inside the Cape Bojedor Lighthouse because we got tired walking from the parking up to this spot where I was standing (Hehe!) plus the tourists were brimming inside due to it was a holiday.


We visited the St. Andrew Parish in Bacarra. It is known for its domeless bell tower and was also declared as National Historical Landmark.



Ilocos is proud for its another must-see destination which is the Kabigan Falls. There's a preservation fee and a tour guide will accompany you going to the falls. We trekked for almost 40 minutes and it was a bit challenging. There are beautiful views along the trail. There are also vendors for food and drinks along the way including souvenir items like t-shirt, so you can stop just to buy buko juice if you get thirsty.

Bantay Abot Caves means A sea mountain with a hole. I just don't have the photo of it because we stayed in the sea shore.




Lastly, we had Pagudpud beach trip.

  1. I've always wanted to see those windmills for myself! This trip sounds so nice. How I wish I could tick Ilocos off my list too.
