Tuguegarao Travel Guide Itinerary Trip

Tuguegarao is a city located on the northeastern side of mainland Luzon. It is about 485 kilometers away from Metro Manila and is part of Cagayan Province in the Cagayan Valley Region. The province is bordered by Ilocos Norte, Apayao, Kalinga, and Isabela. Tuguegarao’s main claim to fame is the record temperature it set for the Philippines at 42.2°Celsius in 1912 and 1969.

But temperature aside, Tuguegarao has a few tourist spots up its sleeve that might surprise travelers who usually just pass through it on their way to the nearby town of Penablanca for spelunking, or Palaui Island and Claveria. It has a couple of historical churches, one of the longest bridges in the country, and a delectable noodle dish—pancit batil patong—that can rival the best of what the Philippines has to offer.

Before taking that bus ride up north once again, think about dropping by Tuguegarao City and let this travel guide and trip itinerary open your maps towards the hottest city this side of the Philippines.

HOW TO GET TO TUGUEGARAO


The hurdle of conquering the numbing twelve-hour bus ride from Manila to Tuguegarao has been given solution by two major airlines in the country, Cebu Pacific Air and Philippine Airlines. While the prices of bus and plane tickets are quite wide, try to book during seat sales and you just might chance on a flight fare that’s much cheaper than those of buses. If you’re set on doing the bus route, I suggest you book a night trip, that way, you can sleep off the hours and arrive at Tuguegarao by sunrise. Or better yet, get a sleeper bus, which is only more expensive by a few hundred pesos.

GETTING AROUND TUGUEGARAO


Getting Around Tuguegarao

The main mode of transportation in Tuguegarao is the tricycle which locals refer to as tricy. The minimum fare is at ₱15.00 per head, with higher fares for farther destinations. Note that with this price, the driver has a right to scoot in a few more passengers with you as he goes along. Another popular mode of going about the city is the kalesa, a horse-drawn transport with a boxy carriage at the back. Fare is similar with the tricy at ₱15.00 minimum, but most of these are limited within the downtown area.

Tuguegarao Tours And Guides

During my visits to Tuguegarao City, I’ve never encountered a group selling packaged tours. The place itself is quite easy to explore; tourist sites within the city are mostly walking distances from each other, while the farther places are readily accessible by tricycles. Going to the town of Penablanca is another matter though, you either rent a van / tricycle or commute, both of which takes about an hour or two.




SPEAK TUGUEGARAO


The locals of Tuguegarao call themselves Tuguegarenos. They speak Ibanag, Itawes, Ilokano, as well as Tagalog and English. The most common tongue within Tuguegarao though is Itawes, a language close to the Ibanag and is used by the earliest people of Cagayan Valley.

Tuguegarao Language
Thank You – Maballo
Good Morning – Napya nga umma
Good Afternoon - Napya nga aggaw
Good Evening – Napya nga gabi

WHERE TO STAY IN TUGUEGARAO


Surprisingly, Tuguegarao City is replete with accommodations that range from inns to high end hotels. Prices are quite affordable too—even with the posh ones—so choosing a place to stay for the night isn’t really a problem. A little tip for those wanting to stay overnight, a few hotels are on the outskirts of the city, so makes sure that the ones you would book are located along the downtown area (Centro).

WHERE TO EAT IN TUGUEGARAO


Tuguegarao City is a culinary delight when it comes to noodles or pancit. It is the birthplace of pancit batil patong, a stir-fried noodle dish topped with carabeef, crushed pork, liver, veggies, and poached egg—with a side dish of garnished garlic and egg-drop soup. There are numerous panciteria that line the streets of Tuguegarao’s downtown area, it’s actually quite hard to find other carinderia offerings. For those not into noodles, there are some restaurants in the city that offers regular Filipino and Western cuisines.

WHAT TO SEE AND DO IN TUGUEGARAO


Honestly, there’s really not much to see in Tuguegarao City—tourist spots in the area are quite sparse. But what it lacks in places to visit, it makes for by its cuisine—spell pancit batil patong. The city is also a good place to stay in if one is planning to visit the Callao Caves in the town of Penablanca along with the other cave systems in the area. If you’re planning to go to Palaui Island, Tuguegarao is a good city for a side trip to cut the long bus ride from Manila.

WHAT TO BUY IN TUGUEGARAO


Tuguegarao is known for its carabeef meat. They use it on their noodles dishes, their processed meat products, and they even make chicharon out of it. The town of Penablanca, on the other hand, probably has the best honey this side of the Philippines.

TUGUEGARAO SAMPLE ITINERARY & BUDGET GUIDE


It is possible to cover all the tourist spots—including the famous Callao Caves—in Tuguegarao City in a single day or a day trip. But if you’re planning to do a leisurely visit of the celebrated Callao Caves in Penablanca, you would at least need two full days of touring. You can even add a few more caves within the vicinity to your list. I prepared a one-day and two-day itineraries for such trips below.

The itinerary is intentionally made for a group of four to maximize the tricycle fare going to and from Callao Cave since it is a bit expensive. Simply adjust the said fare depending the number of your group. Tricycle fare around the city is per person. The fare going to and from Tuguegarao City is not included in the expenses as this would totally depend on where you’d be coming from.
