Nueva Ecija is a landlocked province in the Philippines located in the Central Luzon region. Its capital is the city of Palayan. Nueva Ecija borders, from the south clockwise, Bulacan, Pampanga, Tarlac, Pangasinan, Nueva Vizcaya and Aurora. 

 

Minalungao National Park

At first glance, Nueva Ecija does not look like it has anything to offer in terms of tourist attractions. It is a landlocked province, which means that there aren’t any beaches around. While this might bum out beach bums (pun intended), it does not mean that Nueva Ecija does not have its roster of interesting attractions for travelers. If you thought that the province is all about the rice fields, Minalungao National Park will change your perception about that. 

Minalungao National Park is a protected area and one of the few remaining natural environments in the region north of Metro Manila. Spanning over 2,000 hectares, it lures travelers with the picturesque sight of the emerald-colored Penaranda River that runs across most of the park and the towering limestone formations that border it. Adrenaline seekers also have a place in Minalungao as there are plenty of activities there that will give them their fix. 

 

 

 

Pantabangan Dam

This dam was built under the supervision of the National Irrigation Administration in 1974 to provide irrigation, serve as reinforcement against flood and supply additional electricity to the entire Luzon. Proudly built by Filipino engineers, it is an earth-fill embankment dam along the Pampanga River, with a reservoir that is considered one of the cleanest in the country and one of the largest in Southeast Asia.

Now, the Pantabangan Dam has become one of the most visited tourist spots in Nueva Ecija. It attracts visitors with a scenic view of its surrounding area. Also, you would appreciate its engineering wonders when you get there.

 

 

 

Aloha Falls – Brgy. Puncan

One of the most beautiful falls in Luzon. For hikers, the Mount 387 plus Aloha Falls tour is one of the best if not the best dayhike destination so far.
