Cabagan is a small municipal hub in northern Isabela with a historic centre, several waterfalls and a famous pancit dish. Its attractions are clustered near the Maharlika Highway, making a half‑day or full‑day visit feasible. Day trips to San Pablo Church or the Cagayan River rapids are possible from here.
