What to do in Tuguegarao
Tuguegarao is the capital of Cagayan and the main city of the Cagayan Valley, on the banks of the Cagayan River — the longest river in the Philippines. It is also one of the hottest cities in the country, so plan the outdoor parts of a visit for the early morning.
St. Peter Metropolitan Cathedral
The city's landmark: a vast Baroque church built of red brick in the late 18th century, and still the largest colonial-era church in the Cagayan Valley.
Callao Cave, Peñablanca
About 24 km east of the city, a limestone cave of seven chambers with a chapel lit by a natural skylight in the first. The Homo luzonensis fossils announced in 2019 were excavated here.
Pancit batil patong
The local noodle dish — miki noodles with minced carabao beef, a poached egg on top and a bowl of soup on the side. Every carinderia in town has a version and they argue about whose is best.
