Kapurpurawan
Rock Formation (Poblacion, Burgos, Ilocos Norte)
Reminds us of a huge ivory that looks like a boat at the top of that spot. How nature and years and years of forces of the water, current and waves formed that amazing rock. Actually the rocky coast of that beach is totally beautiful. Every part of it tells different story and speaks magical history of the place and time from then and till now.
In Ilocano, “Kapurpurawan” or "puraw" means white. Most of the rocks formations are shaded by sparkling white in color. This beautiful tourist spot was created by forces of wind, water and waves from the ocean. In Science, it is a sedimentary rock formed by sedimentation, where the deposition of particles carried by fluid flow, created rocks on diff. shapes and formations.
Aside from taking a picture, other activities include horseback riding and mountain climbing.
How to see the formation?
Just drive along the main highway of Pan Philippine Highway in Burgos Ilocos Norte, once you reach Bangui and Cape Bojeador, it’s easy already. If you’ve been to the famous Bangui Wind Mills, wow you’re minutes away from this landmark. See map below.
