Kapurpurawan

A 3 kilometer drive from the national highway and a 600 meter walk along sharp coral rock path will lead you to Kapurpurawan (which means kaputian or whiteness) rock formation in Burgos, Ilocos Norte. You will find it difficult to reach, but don't worry because it so worth all your efforts. At the end of the coral rock path you will see a peculiar mountain conposed of white limestone in strange shapes formed by both wind and sea water over time. The very noticeable portion of the Kapurpurawan rock formation is its peak which many said resembles Noah's Arc. (Repost from my blog entry "Napintas Ti Ilocos (Ilocos is Beautiful")

April 28, 2011, Thursday. This was our first time to see Kapurpurawan and like all people do, we were enchanted by this magical place the moment we laid our eyes on it. Truly a treasure for Ilocos.
