Discover Hidden Gems in Pasuquin: A Salt-making Haven

 


Aysi ASIN PASUQUIN!

While most visitors flock to the popular tourist spots, don’t miss the quaint and peaceful town of Pasuquin, located just south of Pagudpud. Known for its rich salt-making tradition, Pasuquin is a hidden gem that offers a more laid-back but equally fascinating experience.



A visit to Pasuquin isn’t complete without stopping by the salt beds where locals harvest sea salt using traditional methods that have been passed down for generations. The sight of endless salt ponds, especially at sunrise or sunset, offers a stunning and unique view that you won't find anywhere else in Ilocos Norte. It’s a perfect spot for photography enthusiasts looking to capture the rural beauty of the region.

Aside from the salt farms, Pasuquin is also home to some charming local sights. Pasuquin is continually growing as a destination for curious travelers, and recent developments have added even more attractions to explore.

New Town Plaza


Recently revamped, the Pasuquin Town Plaza offers visitors a charming spot to unwind. With its wide-open spaces, lush greenery, and modern amenities, it's the perfect place to relax after a day of exploring. The plaza is ideal for leisurely strolls, outdoor activities, or simply enjoying the local vibe. It’s also a great place to catch community events or festivals that showcase the town’s rich culture and traditions.

Mangrove

Pasuquin's Mangrove Forest has become an important part of the town’s ecotourism efforts. This lush mangrove ecosystem serves as a sanctuary for various wildlife species and helps protect the coastal area from erosion. Visitors can take guided tours of the mangrove forest, either by boat or along walking trails, and enjoy the tranquility of this unique natural habitat. The mangroves also offer a great opportunity for birdwatching, as several migratory bird species stop here during certain times of the year.

Old Spanish Watch Tower


For a panoramic view of the town and its stunning coastline, head to the newly constructed Watch Tower. This tower offers a bird's-eye view of Pasuquin’s scenic beauty from the shimmering coastline to the sweeping rural landscapes. It’s the perfect spot for photographers, nature lovers, or anyone looking to capture the essence of this picturesque town. The tower also serves as a historical marker, reminding visitors of Pasuquin’s role in coastal defense during past centuries.
