🗺️ Gateway to Luzon from the North
Cape Bojeador Lighthouse, often called the Burgos Lighthouse, stands proudly on a hilltop in Burgos, Ilocos Norte. This historic lighthouse was the first land sighted by vessels approaching Luzon from northern China and East Asia, making it an important navigational landmark for centuries.
📍 Burgos, Ilocos Norte

Accessible by car or a hike
🏛️ Not the Tallest, But
the Most Accessible in Luzon
While some claim it’s the tallest lighthouse in the Philippines, it’s not — but it is arguably the most accessible lighthouse in Luzon.
🚶♂️ Heads up: If you don’t have a vehicle, be prepared for a lengthy walk uphill to reach the lighthouse. However, the stair climb up the lighthouse itself is off-limits, as the structure is fragile and not maintained for public climbing.
🌄 Rewarding Views and
Tranquil Moments
Although visitors can only explore up to the lighthouse base, the views of the surrounding coastline and ocean from the site are serene and breathtaking.
We spent some peaceful moments here, soaking in the cool sea breeze and the historic atmosphere before heading to our next adventure at the Kapurpurawan Rock Formation nearby.
