Pasuquin Caves

The coastal town of Pasuquin, Ilocos Norte is known for salt-making and tasty bicocho products.

It also offers a unique experience for travelers who are searching for a different kind of adventure.

If you wish to go spelunking, hike up to the mountains and explore Imelda Garden Caves.

The caves, located 1,708 above sea level, have underground water streams and offer some of the more spectacular stalagmite and stalactite formations.

Travel time to the caves is 45 minutes from the town proper through a dirt road, and you will need to get a special permit from the major's office to explore the cave. The trip is definitely worth it!

You might even be fortunate to meet members of the Itneg tribe, the original inhabitants of the town. There are a few of them still living in the thick forests, untouched by modern civilization.

This coastal town is 25-kilometers long. It is bounded on the north by Burgos, on the east by the mountain ranges of Vintar, on the south by Bacarra, and on the west by the South China Sea. It is only seven kilometers north of Laoag City.
