The river passes through the Peñablanca Protected Landscape and Seascape,[1] with large karst formations, underground chambers, and rare wild flora. Pinacanauan is considered as one of the most picturesque attractions located in Cagayan. Because of its moderate to medium-quick rapid farther upstream, it is a popular place for rafting and kayaking. The place is surrounded by mountains for hiking, climbing and spelunking. Boat races take place on this river every year on April 21.[2]
