Hi! Can I ask the passenger capacity of the 4×4 jeepneys and 6×6 trucks used to go to Kaparkan Falls?
Hi,
Abra is still closed for tourists from outside the province. However the 6×6 trucks have a capacity of 30 pax on a normal trip. If Kaparkan does open up again there may be reduced capacity due to covid protocols.
the 4×4 jeepneys no longer run.
Another option is to hike to Kaparkan from Ba-i in Lagayan, which needs coordinating with the local guides. 1 guide to 5 hikers.
Hope this helps you.
