The rock formations of Kapurpurawan is definitely its biggest draw. But before you reach the main prize, you will be rewarded with lots of consolation price because the trail and the landscape going to the Rock is just so splendidly beautiful.Waters trapped between rocks and bonsai plants sprawling in the area are just some of the things you will pass by. Then, the rocks along the shores honed by time as well as little critters trapped between them are quite interesting. Of course, the supporting cast of sharp hills and its lush greens and the channel of water that runs in there is just an amazing sight to behold. Enough talking, let me just share these:
How to go there? The Municipality of Burgos is about less than two hours away from Laoag and about thirty minutes from Bangui. If riding on a commuter bus, you need to get-off Burgos Highway or ask the driver to drop you off the town proper. On heading to the Rocks, the best way is thru a motorbike because the unpaved road is filled with large, uneven rocks. On a good weather, one may rent a tricycle but still, you need to prepare yourself for a bumpy ride. The tricycle ride will take you about twenty minutes into the jump-off point. But if it rained and the road gets all muddy, you have no other choice but to hike from the highway to the Rocks. After reaching the waiting shed or the jump-off station, you need to trek-down to the Kapurpurawan Rocks on a slippery and sharp surface. You will definitely get your feet wet but then, the view of the place is just so worthy despite of the hardships in going there.

What a fine view in this lovely morning. I love the first pic the most.
Fabuloso!!!
Bonsai! bonsai! jejejejejejeje
Parang scary puntahan dahil sa mga rocks... pero nice ang formation ha
i love the rugged landscape, and your closeup of the bonsai twig is terrific.
Lovely photo of the rock formation. You make the plants looked so pretty. I will be very busy in coming days as my nephew is getting married soon and I am going to cambodia next month for a wedding. Hope to get more photos over there. (Long awaited holiday) :)
Yung rock formation, was it shaped by sea current? This place looks familiar like I've seen if from one of FPJ's movie.
That's a beautiful and fascinating landscape!
Awesome pictures as well.
Thanks for taking me there :)

I'm headed there next weekend! Thanks for the directions. How far away is it from the main highway? We're bringing a car, wonder where we can leave it?
What a fantastic place. I love rocks so I'd be in heaven there. I love seeing your part of the world through your camera lens.

Thanks for the tour. The rock formations on the hills and on the shore were just pure poetry to me. Thanks!
What an amazing series of photos of wild nature. You are a talented photographer. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for sharing these wonderful pictures. I am really impressed by the beauty of the scenery.
Thank you for the great tour in your country, which I get to know little by little by you and other bloggersw from the Philippines.
"the things you will pass by" make me want to go there already and the photos are ecstatic.
So different from here...
You always show us such beautiful landscapes and wonders of nature that it is a joy to visit your blog.
We would have walked our way from the highway to Kapurpurawan. Thankfully, our jeepney driver caved in to our request or it would have been a very, very, very long hike.
But I agree with you that seeing the rock formation is worth all the hardships in getting to the place.
