Abucay

Spend a half‑day to a full day in Abucay to see the historic church, Death March markers and nearby nature spots; add a night if you want a relaxed stay at a local inn.

Abucay, on the eastern side of Bataan, offers a compact mix of history and nature. The town’s main attractions – the 1588 Saint Dominic de Guzman Church, Death March markers, Bataan National Park edge, Pasukulan Falls and Wawa Lati Lighthouse – are within a few kilometres of each other, making a day visit feasible. Tricycles connect barangays, and modest guesthouses provide simple overnight options.
