If China boasts of the Great Wall, India ofย the Taj Mahal and Cambodia has the Angkor Wat, here in the Philippines we also have those we can definitely show off to the world. Let me speak of the three wonders found in the Northern Philippines namely the Bangui Windmills, Kapupurawan Rock Formation and the Cape Bojeador Lighthouse.
1. Bangui Windmills
Bangui Windmills consists ofย the 20 windย turbinesย arranged in a single row along the bay of Bangui in Ilocos Norte facing the South China Sea. This project was spearheaded by former Governor Ferdinand Marcos Jr. in 1990s as the solution to the north’s vulnerability to power outages and insufficient power supply fromย the National Power Corp. (NAPOCOR). Nowadays, these 20 wind turbines have become one the reasons tourists wants to explore Pagudpud.
2. Kapurpurawan Rock Formation
Kapurpurawan Rock Formation is such a great splendor nature has molded through time. This is situated on the coastlines of Burgos in the province of Ilocos Norte. This cream colored rock formation has charmed its way to tourists, local and international alike.
3. Cape Bojeador Lighthouse | Burgos Lighthouse
Cape Bojeador or the Burgos Lighthouseย ย is aย cultural heritageย structure inย Burgos,ย Ilocos Norte, that was established during theย Spanish Colonial era. Unlike what most people believe,ย it is not the highest-elevated nor tallest lighthouse in the Philippines but theย highest elevated still original and active Spanish era lighthouse in the country. It isย the most accessible of all the lighthouses in the island of Luzon.ย Access to the lighthouse is through a two-lane narrow concrete road that starts from theย Maharlika Highwayย inย Brgy.ย Paayas, Burgos, about 40ย km. north fromย Laoag City, capital ofย Ilocos Norte.
