With more than seven thousand islands where the land descends the sea. And with world-re known pristine beaches, idyllic coves, amazing sunset on the pacific and the whitest of the white sand, the Philippines definitely has one of the best seascape in the world. And I thought I have seen everything... that is, until we visited Kapurpurawan Rock Formations in Burgos, Ilocos Norte.Kapurpurawan in Ilocano dialect means kaputian or white and the these were called so because the whiteness of limestone rock. One could climb these rocks where one will be amazed by its different textures from smooth surface to somewhat wavy formations -truly a sight to behold. Here are some proof:
Kapurpurawan Rock Formation is one of the best spot to visit in Burgos, Ilocos Norte together with Cape Bojeador Lighthouse which is in the opposite side of the road. I missed the chance of going to Kapurpurawan last year so I thank Dong Ho for inviting me to this trip together with Scud, Feigh, Jonee and Lantaw (shown on the first photo).
The beautiful sights around the White Hill and how to go there in my next post.
