Reaching Kaparkan Falls requires good both mental and physical sturdiness. In a province 9-10 hours ride faraway from Manila, this travertine paradise can only be reached through off-road vehicles. Sometimes, these tough vehicles carrying tourists even falter in the process. If you’re lucky that these monsters of vehicle is not going to surrender, you have to endure a harrowing, bumpy, and muscle numbing ride for a few hours.

The “hell ride to paradise” provides you with insights in the mountainous part of the province. You’ll recognize that limestones are scattered along mountain slopes. Caves are often found under these terrains which is corroborated through the Libtec Crystal Cave in Dolores and Sibud-Sibud Cave in Tineg, even perhaps more in certain areas waiting to get discovered. Several trees including duhat, banaba, etc. will also delight the visitors besides the picturesque plains and mountaintops.

The reasons in the entrance with the falls is often a delight itself. You’ll find picnic tables and benches within the trees. You’ll be able to leave your bags on these tables. Your lunch and snacks should be taken and in the therapy lamp as no foods are allowed within the water.
