Also known as Faro de Cabo Engaño, Cape Engaño Lighthouse is
a historic lighthouse situated atop the summit of a hill on Palaui Island. It
is one of the four lighthouses erected during the Spanish Colonial period which
served as a guide for seafaring vessels coming from the Pacific Ocean.
Construction begun on September 21, 1888 and was completed on December 31,
1892. Most of the laborers who helped with the construction of this lighthouse were
Filipinos.

The Spaniards named it “Engaño” because when they first set
foot on the cape they were so stunned by its natural beauty. Strategically it
overlooks both the Pacific Ocean and Babuyan Channel which makes the lighthouse
very useful for navigators during rough seas.

You are required to get a tour guide once you reach the
island. Ours were 300 peso per 4 people. They will be the ones to take you to
the top of the mountain to see the lighthouse itself and enjoy the views. The
trek is not hard, but it is not for the faint at heart either. Someone said it
was 300 steps you had to climb up. I think that is a low count, but I could be
wrong in that.

It was very hot on the way up and any breaks were very
welcomed. I would suggest you bring water, snacks or anything else you want.
There is nothing either at the lighthouse or as you climb up to it. There are
stores once you reach back down at the bottom and that is your only option.
