Santa Ana, Cagayan


To reach this town of Santa Ana, Cagayan, one must ready himself for the 15 hour bus ride from Manila.
This town might be simple in the eyes of many and might also be unpopular, but it holds surprisingly costly resorts and casinos.

According to history, this town of Santa Ana was not named after a saint, but of their local officials. The word "Santa" was just attached to make it more conventional.
 
Home to numerous marine species, Santa Ana is also a dive spot. Lots of adventure activities can be done. Braving the waves alone going to Palaui maybe as exciting as paddling a boat in the rapids. 

The sunrise in this part of the town is majestic, the bursting colors of sunrising is rejuvenating. The waves reaching the shoreline is quiet. Unlike any other beaches, the waves are somewhat "noiseless".



Life is indeed simple here in Santa Ana. The beauty of this humble town is hidden unless you explore it, just like every other sleepy places.

Santa Ana, is also home to the Cagayan Freeport Zone. To get here, Florida Bus in Sampaloc and Cubao offered direct limited trip to Santa Ana and vice versa. Or from Tuguegarao, you can opt to take the shuttle vans to Santa Ana. Drop off point is the central terminal, just across the public market of Santa Ana. Mode of transportations from the town center is tricyle.
