1. Kaparkan Falls
Social media sites and travel blogs helped Kaparkan Falls become one of the top destinations in the North. It is situated in the Municipality of Tineg, Province of Abra, part of the Cordillera Administrative Region. Traveling from Manila to Bangued, the province's capital, is more than 8 hours. Plus, another 2 -3 hours off-road to Sitio Kaparkan - the jump-off of Kaparkan Falls. As I always say: "time is just a number," but the reward will be a breathtaking and stunning body of water - the majestic Kaparkan Falls!
