"Patapat Viaduct" Pagudpud Things to Do Tip by kemisteryoso

The Patapat viaduct is considered as the 4th longest bridge in the Philippines and the second northermost road of the island of Luzon. It is like a winding bridge beside the cliffs of the Cordillera Mountain Range It is about 1.5 kilometers long and elevated around 30 M above the sea. It connects the Maharlika Highway to Cagayan province. It was built for the purpose of minimizing landslide. Other buses bound to other northernmost province of the Philippines take this route.

Also called as the “French Riviera of the North” for this magnificent coastal drive. You can just park your vehicle and take photos of the vast northern blue sea and flying birds along the coast. Like what we did on our way to Paraiso ni Anton. You shouldn't miss the opportunity to witness the view of the south china sea waves that hit big rocks which was indeed breathtaking.

I suggest to visit the place on a fine weather to really enjoy the scene.

Address: Pagudpud, Ilocos Norte
Directions: about 15 km from Saud Beach simply head northeast towards Cagayan until you reach winding mountain road that will lead you to Patapat viaduct.
