Cape Engaño Lighthouse
The island became prominent because its majestic beauty captured the world when it was used as the location of the two seasons of Survivor, a hit US TV reality show. Situated in the Municipality of Sta. Ana, a four-hour land trip from Tuguegarao City, this spot garnered a lot of positive reviews because of its almost perfect picturesque. This island has a lot to offer, from the historic lighthouse located on top of the mountain that witnessed everything about its history to the white sand shoreline of Mabolbol.
