Fuyot Springs National Park
Description
Fuyot Springs National Park is a protected area of the Philippines located in the mountain slopes of Barangay Santa Victoria in Ilagan City, Isabela, 405 kilometers northeast from Manila. The park, which also contains the Ilagan Sanctuary, is 819 hectares in area and extends to the nearby municipality of Tumauini. It was established in 1938 through Proclamation No. 327.
The park is a popular destination for hikers, mountaineers, spelunkers and birdwatchers who come to explore its mountain trails, caves, odd rock formations and aviary. Adjacent to the park lies the larger Northern Sierra Madre Natural Park which contains even more diverse wildlife. The Pinzal Falls is another major draw inside the park and provides relaxation to visitors aside from the park's many natural mountain springs.
The park also offers various attractions and activities for visitors, such as a mini-zoo, butterfly park, natural spring water pool, ATV rides, and a 350-meter zipline. The park's Main Cave, Altar Cave and Adventure Cave also offer exploration tours to visitors.
The park has a rich history and culture as well. It was once a trading post for the Japanese, who were allied with the native Ibanag people in the 16th century. It was also the site of the 1582 Cagayan battles, which were fought between Spanish soldiers and Japanese ronin (masterless samurai).
