About Capas
Capas is a first-class municipality in Tarlac, primarily known for its pivotal role in World War II history and its proximity to the active Mount Pinatubo. Historically, it was the site of the Capas Prisoner of War Camp, where thousands of Filipino and American soldiers perished after the Bataan Death March in 1942. This legacy is memorialized at the vast and moving Capas National Shrine. Culturally, Capas is a blend of Kapampangan, Ilocano, and Tagalog influences, reflected in its vibrant festivals like the 'Apung Iru Fluvial Festival' and its rich culinary scene. The town is famous not just for its history, but as the primary jump-off point for the epic 4x4 and trek adventure to the stunning Mount Pinatubo Crater Lake, a surreal turquoise body of water nestled in the volcano's caldera. The 1991 Pinatubo eruption dramatically reshaped the area, and today, the resulting landscape offers attractions like the Puning Hot Springs and sand dunes. While the town proper is a typical bustling Philippine municipality, its surrounding barangays (districts) are where adventure tourism thrives, with resorts and tour operators catering to the influx of visitors seeking volcanic adventures and therapeutic hot springs.
Best Time to Visit Capas
The best time to visit Capas is during the dry season, from November to April, when rainfall is minimal and skies are clear. This period offers ideal conditions for the essential Mount Pinatubo trek, as the rough lahar terrain is more stable and the crater lake is at its most brilliant. The coolest and most pleasant months are from December to February. The peak tourist season aligns with this dry period, especially around major holidays like Christmas and Holy Week. The summer months of March to May can be extremely hot and humid, but are still popular for outdoor activities. The wet season, from May to October, brings heavy monsoon rains and the possibility of typhoons. Trekking to Pinatubo during this time is often restricted or canceled due to flash flood risks in the river valleys. However, the landscape is lush and green, and there are fewer crowds. Major local events include the Capas Town Fiesta in honor of San Nicolas de Tolentino in September and the Apung Iru Fluvial Procession in May, which offer vibrant cultural experiences but come with the likelihood of rain.
