Mabogabog Falls
The majestic Mabogabog Falls are situated right at the centre of the Patapat Viaduct. The water is channelled to power the Agua Grande Mini Hydro Power Plant before cascading to the sea.
This is the mini-hydro power plant of the Ilocos Norte Energy Cooperative, and was designed to generate 4.5 megawatts but has so far only produced 1.6 megawatts
When the rains come the water volume increases as the water spills over the hydro dam and its spectacular and worthy of a stop and a photograph.
