Kapurpurawan Rock Formation
Burgos, Ilocos Norte
14 May 2011
Kapurpurawan (White) Rock Formation is situated in Burgos, Ilocos Norte, about 531 kilometers from Manila or 11-12 hours drive by private car (estimated). It is known for its sleek limestone formations which have been naturally created by oceanic and weather upshots.
Recently, I learned that the local government of Ilocos Norte did massive changes and development and started to collect entrance fees from tourists. They have also delegated tenants and small entrepreneurs to run a food and novelty businesses respectively. Also, tourists could no longer set foot on the rock formations itself in preservation of the place, whilst there’s a viewing deck where tourists can still enjoy and admire this nature’s wonderful creation.
When we have visited this place in 2011 (same time that the featured photo was taken) the place was a sheer paradise, now I’m kinda bit excited to visit Kapurpurawan once again because these changes made me very curious on how the new development would replace this beautiful picture out of my imagination.
