Perhaps by now you’ve heard of Landingan Viewpoint. It’s one of the rising tourist attractions in Quirino. We went here for the sunrise during our 2-day trip to Quirino.
Landingan Viewpoint is located atop a hill in Nagpatungan, Quirino. It offers a majestic view of the town, the Cagayan River which cuts through the land, and the surrounding hills including Toblerone Hills from afar. The rolling hills are one of the prominent geographical features of Quirino.
This area used to be bare. In 2015, a view deck was constructed so people can come here to enjoy the view. There are also cottages where you can enjoy a picnic.

Our visit to Landingan Viewpoint
It was early in the morning and lightly raining when we visited Landingan Viewpoint. At first, there were fogs surrounding the hill, which then cleared up after a while.
There were local families visiting with us and they set up food at the cottages. There wasn’t really anything for us to do except admire the view and take pictures. There were fogs surrounding the hill which cleared up a little after a while, at which point we were able to see the fields below.


We placed our things in the cottage area and took photos in the surrounding flower patches. There is a small slope nearby — this is in my opinion the best spot to take pictures in Landingan Viewpoint. There were a lot of us so we had to take turns in specific spots, but generally the place is wide enough for small groups.
