Orani
One day in Orani is enough to see the basilica, dam and park; add a night only if staying at a campsite or resort.
Orani is a small Bataan town with a historic basilica, nearby dam and access to Bataan National Park; sights are close together so a half‑day visit covers the highlights, with optional overnight at a riverside campsite or resort.
