Cape Engaño Lighthouse serves as a vibrant reminder of Cagayan’s rich history during the Spanish Colonial era.

This architectural marvel reflects Spanish influences and majestically stands atop a scenic hill, providing sweeping views of the adjacent seascape.

The peak of the lighthouse reveals a panorama of lush greenery, a deep blue sea, and an infinite horizon.

It offers a sensory delight for every visitor to Palaui, providing a 360-degree perspective of the island’s rugged cliffs and jagged coastlines, expansive grasslands and valleys, uninhabited islands, and pristine white coral beaches.

From this vantage point, one can appreciate the seascape that includes Engaño Cove and the Dos Hermanas Islands, while also catching a glimpse of the Babuyan Islands.

After a leisurely trek, hikers can arrive at the weathered Cape Engaño Lighthouse (Faro de Cabo Engaño), which dates back to the late 19th century.

Constructed over nearly four years from September 21, 1888, to December 31, 1892, this lighthouse serves as the highlight of anyone’s adventure in Palaui.
