Hotel Kimikarlai

Tucked away in the city of Tuguegarao is Hotel Kimikarlai, a six-storey hotel with spacious, well-appointed accommodations and all the comforts of home. It is the perfect place to start one’s exploration of Cagayan’s extensive coastlines, subterranean caves, and the mighty Cagayan River.

Conveniently located 14 minutes from Tuguegarao Airport and two minutes from the city center, the hotel is ideal for travelers out to explore the wonderful province of Cagayan. The round-the-clock reception and tour desk can help guests create the perfect itinerary for a hassle-free trip.

Tuguegarao is home to major pilgrimage sites like Saint Peter Metropolitan Cathedral five minutes out and Calvary Hills 34 minutes away. Calvary Hills feature rolling hills each mounted with larger-than-life renderings of the Passion of Christ, backdropped by the raging waters of the Cagayan River. It is accessible via a stairway at the back of San Antonio de Galicia Church.

Another must-see is the Callao Cave 34 minutes out; a series of nine, stalactite-rich chambers each naturally illuminated by crevices found directly above the cavern floor. After an action-filled day, have a taste of Tuguegarao’s specialty dish, the Pancit Batil Patung at Billy Jacks Panciteria 10 minutes from the hotel or the hotel’s Lai Restaurant.
