Magat DamPhoto from the National Irrigation Administration

Tucked in the northern reaches of Luzon region, Magat Dam straddles the provinces of Isabela and Ifugao, offering a blend of engineering marvel and natural beauty. 

As one of the largest dams in the Philippines, this multipurpose reservoir supports irrigation, hydroelectric power, and flood control—while also serving as an emerging ecotourism site for those exploring North Luzon’s hidden destinations.

The expansive Magat Reservoir, with its calm, mirror-like waters and mountain backdrop, is ideal for sightseeing, boating, and fishing. Adventure seekers can explore the dam's surroundings on foot, or take in panoramic views of the Sierra Madre and Cordillera mountain ranges.

Whether you're combining it with a cultural journey to the Ifugao Rice Terraces, a food trip across Isabela’s pancit and longganisa trail, or a nature escape from Metro Manila, Magat Dam offers a serene and scenic experience.
