Pagudpud Patapat Viaduct & Cape Bojeador Ride
About this tour
The far north of Ilocos Norte is a string of dramatic coastal landmarks, and this full-day ride links the best of them in one unforgettable loop. Starting around Pagudpud, you trace the coast to the soaring Patapat Viaduct, a 1.3-kilometer elevated highway curving along the sea about 31 meters above Pasaleng Bay with sweeping views of mountains meeting ocean.
From there you visit the Bangui Windmills, a line of around 20 towering wind turbines marching along the shore, and continue to the Cape Bojeador Lighthouse, a Spanish-era beacon first lit in 1892 and declared a National Cultural Treasure, perched on a hill overlooking the West Philippine Sea. Along the way you can stop at the Kapurpurawan white rock formation and Pagudpud's blue lagoon beaches.
It is a scenic, history-rich adventure that captures the wild beauty of the northern Ilocos coast, blending engineering marvels, colonial heritage and raw coastal landscapes. Perfect for road-trippers and photographers chasing the big northern views.
