Fantastic!!! as I describe my adventure in the town of Nagtipuan, Quirino Province. Dubbed as "The Land of Origin". The town's name derived from the native word meaning "convergence point", in reference to several major tributaries of the Cagayan River in Aurora, Nueva Vizcaya and Quirino meeting at points within in area.
Nagtipunan connotes: Converging Point which is attributed to the fact that several major tributaries of the Cagayan River found in the provinces of Quirino, Aurora and Nueva Vizcaya meet geographically located within the area.
My tour at SIITAN River was realized with help of Quirino Province Press Corps officers and Mam Thelma Bicarme of PIA Quirino and through then Mayor Rosario Camma of Nagtipunan, Quirino Province.
PART 1
One of the best spots of Quirino Province... There are many things that you can do at SIITAN RIVER, Swimming on the famous Cagayan River, where the water is really clear during summer. Rock climbing, fishing, rafting, camping and many more...
Nagtipunan River or locally known as Siitan River is head water of Cagayan River. A Hall of Fame Awardee of the Cleanest inland bodies of water.
This is the jump-off for river cruise and water tubing activities.
Ideally, great place for picnic with friends or family.

Water is clear and the current is not so strong especially during summer.

The town of Nagtipunan celebrates PENENKAKASISIT FESTIVAL. It is a yearly festivity in celebration of the creation of the municipality. It is the convergence of all tribes and cultures of the municipality in cooperation and celebration.
It features the indigenous tribes which is the "Ilongots" they are the original cultural communities of the area/or the first settlers in the province. Part of the celebration is the portrayal of their primitive cultural practices like Padong as the war dance and the Taguem which portrays their practice from courtship to wedding. Festivity on every 22-25th of February.
