*We seated at the center aisle because it was Christmas time and my friend know somebody from the bus company, so I don’t know if the conductor charged us a lower fare.

**I did not spend on the accommodation and most of my meals because I stayed in my friend’s house (who is from Tuguegarao).

Actually, it should be four days and three nights, however I excluded the days which almost half of it were spent in traveling. You can always tweak this itinerary. The summary of this is: visit the Tuguegarao Cathedral and taste the different versions of pansit batil patung, pansit cabagan and Ilocano dishes, visit Callao caves, experience Mororan and swim in Cagayan river, then visit Aparri for seafood, “ludong” and its beaches. Along the way, you can visit the old churches.

On next post I will be presenting an itinerary for Santa Ana, Cagayan which has more sightseeing and activities to offer.
