Cordillera Administrative Region
Waterfalls in Abra
Abra is a landlocked Cordillera province in northern Luzon, with Bangued as the capital and usual base. It is reached by bus from Vigan or Baguio, and the landscape is shaped by steep river valleys. Our coverage centres on Kaparkan Falls in Tineg, a terraced cascade that is usually visited with a local guide and a high-clearance vehicle. Access depends on road conditions, and the trip is best planned in the dry season from December to May, when river levels are lower and the trail is safer. Abra is quieter than the nearby Ifugao and Mountain Province circuits, so allow a full day and confirm arrangements in Bangued before setting out.
