Beautiful Sceneries in Ilocos

The Region of Luzon Particularly the Ilocos Region. has a lot of beautiful and jaw dropping tourist attractions you can visit. I'm going to give my TOP 5 picks.

e historic town of Vigan, which was inscribed in UNESCO's World Heritage List in November 1999. Established in the 16th century, Vigan is the best preserved example of a planned Spanish colonial town in Asia. Its architecture reflects the coming together of cultural elements from elsewhere in the Philippines and from China with those from Europe to create a unique culture and townscape without parallel anywhere in East and Southeast Asia. Its Kamestizoan District is replete with ancestral houses with ancient tiled roofs, massive hardwood floorings, ballustrades and azoteas in varying Spanish-Mexican-Chinese architectural styles.

2.Pagudpud

Pagudpud’s beautiful shorelines are truly one of the country’s best. Blessed with picturesque sights and sceneries, Pagudpud charms tourists from all over the globe with its postcard-perfect white beaches, the blue-hued sky, the tropical trees dancing to the humming of the cool northern breeze, and the colorful corals thriving under the crystal clear sea.

3.Bangui Windmills

The Bangui Windmills in Ilocos Norte and just an hour and a half drive from Laoag. Notice that you are close to the site when even from a far while going down towards the bay that some of the windmills are already visible. The Bangui Windmills standing 23 stories high (50 meters) in the Bangui Bay where the wind is just perfect in powering these behemoths. Being in front of these Windmills feels like being in front of a robot or an alien aircraft due to its massive size and it takes around 11 average adults just to hug a single Windmill, now imagine 20 of these giants across the sea-shore all lined up. The geographic location is excellent due

4. Juan Luna Shrine

The Juan Luna Shrine is a two-storey structure made of clay bricks and molave wood. This restored ancestral home of the Luna clan is itself a life-sized historical artifact that speaks of affluence and classic elegance.

5. Kapurpurawan Rock Formation
