Palasapas Falls.
Located in the outskirts of the city, in the barrio Manicla, seven kilometers away from the Poblacion. The site has natural scenic beauty where once stood a forbidding forest, its quant existence enhanced only by the sound of cascading waterfalls inadvertently concealed behind its snarling tree branches and thick undergrowth.
Diamond Park.
This park is strategically located at the gateway of the Cagayan Valley. A haven for picnickers and refreshing environment of numerous parks and gardens landscape on hills. The river running its foothills is a summer destination. Climbing its hundred steps stairs, one reaches lamp-lit pagodas on hilltop offering a panoramic view of Northern Nueva Ecija.
