Patapat Bridge

welcome to Patapat Bridge!

This viaduct also connects Ilocos Norte to the province of Cagayan. When we were there, big buses from and bound for Cagayan were passing by.I don’t know how long the viaduct is but what I have known is that it is the fourth longest bridge in the country. Don’t expect to spend many hours in Patapat unless you want to take a lot of photos especially of the open sea. It felt a little bit scary on the road with big buses passing along and big waves splashing underneath the viaduct.

I’d been dreaming to see this place personally as I was seeing beautiful photographs of the bridge across social media. Well, I was not disappointed. No wonder, I was seeing even pre-nuptial photos taken in this place.

The thing that makes Patapat Viaduct so special is its one-of-a-kind view. The bridge itself follows the curvature of the mountain range to its right (or left if you’re coming from Cagayan). It’s flanked on the other side by the West Philippine Sea, making it a perfect spot for taking photos.

It’s also a great place to take an early-morning jog. Imagine being welcomed by a sunrise/sunset as you jog along this 1.3-km coastal bridge.
