Tapuacan River (also known as Pugo – Cleanest Inland River of the North, Region I) is located in Barangay Cares, municipality of Pugo, La Union, Philippines (the smallest/inlet town which is sited in the foot Santo Tomas mountains range and about an hour away from Baguio City passing through the Aspiras, formerly Marcos Highway leading to the Ilocandia Region). The natural scenery is also an 1 hour ride from San Fernando City La Union and around 4–5 hours drive from Manila.

In Ilocano terminology, “tapuakan” means “a place where one can jump as high”. In the exquisite river, cool and pristine water flows from the town’s streams amid a huge rockbeds or awesome large (huge and quite flat) rock formations surrounded by forests and a water fall.  Read More:  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tapuacan_River

Tapuacan River has crystal clear waters flowing from the mountain top towards the river mainstream, slowing down along giant stones, engulfing into the calves of other rock formations that are tact along the water’s path. Tapuacan is part of PUGAD, which means bird’s nest, or Pugo Adventure, the whole Pugo landmark site known as the newly opened Ilocos picturesque adventure and recreation destination, covering more than 3 hectares of lush mountain, forests and cleanest river.  Read More:  https://ilocoshotels.com/tapuakan-river.html
