Kapurpurawan Rock Formation
About
Wind and waves have sculpted these creamy white limestone formations into wavy, otherworldly shapes on the Burgos coast. The name comes from the Ilocano word for white. A short walk (or horseback ride) leads down to the rocks, where you can watch waves crash against the cliffs. It is a staple of North Ilocos road trips, best paired with Cape Bojeador and the windmills.
