3. Bulsa River
Bulsa River is one of the best tourist spots in Tarlac, a perfect destination for whitewater kayaking in the province. It is a 12.5 kilometers stretch of awesome adventure filled with thrill and excitement which is very suitable for adventure enthusiasts. While paddling down the river and maneuvering the inflatable kayak through the smooth and moderately quick rapids, adventurers will be immersed in nature passing through mountains and encounters with wildlife (mostly carabaos). There are also stop-overs for swimming, cliff jumping and stone diving.
4. Capas National Shrine
Capas National Shrine is one of the notable landmarks in Tarlac, a tribute to the Filipino and American soldiers that briefly survived the Bataan Death March but died at Camp O’Donnell. The area where the shrine was unveiled is the former internment camp of the Prisoners of War in WWII known as the Camp O’Donnell. Thousands of prisoners died there out of starvation, disease or brutality. A huge 70-meter obelisk is at the center of the shrine surrounded with 3 segmented circular walls where the names of the Filipinos who died and participated in the Death March were etched on black marble tiles. The entire area was surrounded with trees, each tree was assigned to a specific fallen soldier.
