Bagabag
Visit Bagabag as a quick stop en route to Ifugao or Isabela; one day is enough to see the church, market and a strawberry farm.
Bagabag sits at the northern edge of the Magat River Valley and serves as the main gateway to the mountain provinces of Ifugao and Isabela. Its attractions are clustered near the Maharlika Highway, so a half‑day to a full day covers the main sights and a taste of local food.
