(SPOT.ph) Ilocos Norte has a little bit of everything for any type of traveler. Heritage lovers can bask in the stories of the Spanish-colonial Cape Bojeador Lighthouse and the UNESCO World Heritage Site Saint Augustine Church (a.k.a. Paoay Church). Adventurers can ride a 4x4 across the La Paz Sand Dunes or walk around the Kapurpurawan Rock Formation, while beach lovers can go surfing in Pagudpud or take a dip in the Boracay-esque Blue Lagoon. And traveling to this province in northern Luzon is now easier than ever as they drop the COVID-19 test requirement for fully vaccinated travelers coming from areas under Alert Levels 1, 2, and 3 starting December 1.
Non-vaccinated and partially vaccinated individuals as well as travelers coming from Alert Level 4 are required to present either a negative RT-PCR test result taken within 72 hours or an antigen test taken within 24 hours. They also have the option of taking the antigen test upon arrival in Ilocos Norte.
