This is our Philippines – Northern Luzon Road Trip – Cagayan Chocolate H...

Rain or shine, we are going to travel! We had planned this Northern Luzon trip and were not gonna let a little storm keep us from going. The rain was not to bad going up to Tuguegarao which would be our first stop for food on the way up.

As we come through the Cagayan Valley the views are just awesome up through this route. I often refer to this section of the country as the Chocolate Hills of the Cagayan Valley. The perfectly formed round tops and the green pastures make them very beautiful to view. If it would not have been raining, we might could have gotten some better views than we did. Even then, a camera just does not do justice to seeing it on your own.

As we come into Tuguegarao, we must cross the Buntun Bridge. Buntun Bridge is a river bridge that stretches from Tuguegarao City to Solana in Cagayan and spans the Cagayan River, the largest river basin in the Philippines. It is the second longest bridge in the country, after San Juanico Bridge, and forms part of the Santiago-Tuguegarao Road, a major junction of the Pan-Philippine Highway.

A popular belief is that the bridge is long enough for a person to recite the entire Philippine National Anthem while traversing it. Anyone care to try?
