Kapurpurawan Rock Formation in Burgos, Ilocos Norte

Kapurpurawan Rock Formation is located on the rocky coast of Burgos, Ilocos Norte. It is known for its creamy white and streamlined limestone formations, which have been sculpted by different oceanic and weather forces. Burgos is located on the northwestern tip of Ilocos Norte.

Kapurpurawan Rock Formation nestles along the popular Kapurpurawan beach (called by locals) but really the spot is along the Bangui Bay. Seeing this nature’s wonder, I asked ‘Manong’ our tour guide what is meant by the term ‘kapurpurawan’. He told me it is an Ilocano word which means white. And the magical rock is indeed white.

Reminds me 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.
