The Buntun Bridge is the longest river bridge in the country, which stretches from

Tuguegarao to Solana, Cagayan. Under it is the majestic Cagayan River which is the
largest river basin in the Philippines. The bridge was constructed for the sake of
travelers who want to cross Cagayan River, and the bridge has been known as the
gateway to the City of Tuguegarao.

The bridge is also known as the second longest in the country that is build over a body
of water, after the San Juanico Bridge. The Buntun Bridge has a total of 15 spans, long
enough to carry more than 18 tons of vehicles getting in and out of the city.

BLUE WATERS CAVE

The Saint Peter Metropolitan Cathedral, also known as the Tuguegarao Cathedral, is an 18th-century
Baroque church located along Rizal Street, Barangay Centro 10, Tuguegarao, Cagayan, Philippines. The
church, originally built by Dominican friars, is the seat of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Tuguegarao
and is considered as one of the largest churches in the Cagayan Valley. A historical marker bearing a
brief history of the church was installed in 1982 by the National Historical Institute, precursor of the
National Historical Commission of the Philippines.

The cathedral’s façade is described as whimsical and playful. Most notable of all its features is the
broken and crested pediment that is mirrored in other churches in the Cagayan Valley namely, the
churches of Dupax del Sur and Bambang and Saint Dominic’s Cathedral in Nueva Vizcaya. Archival
photos of the Calasiao Church in Pangasinan also showed that it once had the “Cagayan-style”
pediment. Other notable architectural features of the church are consistently repeated on many of its
parts and on the Ermita de San Jacinto, a Spanish-era brick chapel located on the opposite site of the
Tuguegarao city proper.
