Ilocos Norte: The Glistening Beauty of Kapurpurawan Rocks

If you want to know when is the best time to visit this glistening beauty of Burgos, Ilocos Norte, I'd say the rainy season. Because with its flowing silk-like beauty, it created a better illusion with water dripping all over it. And together with my friends, I was lucky to witness all of that when visited the Kapurpurawan Rocks.

It was a treacherous path towards to the what seemed to be a gem created by nature. With rocks, mosses and even small living creatures around, we braved the rain taking the chance to just even gaze at the white rock formation. But the moment we saw it, it felt like there's someone from it that's calling us, and in less than an hour, we found ourselves staring at this humongous white rock glistening while the rain water dripping from it. It was such a beautiful gem!

Kapurpurawan Rocks was a dream destination to me then. With its unusual look and real and pure color, who wouldn't wanna see that up close, right? It is a dream come true to me now. But honestly, when you get here, just "seeing it " is not enough. To purely feel the love from the nature, you must climbed up there to its peak and just be like a a free bird with arms spread wide open. It was a great feeling to be up there, standing in a pure white rock that in a few more years will be goner.

Crocs at Bolinao, Pangasinan's Rock Formations

Just what I always do every time I see chunks of clouds up in the sky, I imagine things from them and made them come to life in a fluffy, cuddly way. But , instead of clouds, my imagination was tested when I when to see the beautiful and scenic Bolinao, Pangasinan's Rock Formations.

A property owned by Puerto del Sol, the hotel resort that accommodated us during our Bolinao, Pangasinan escapade, this peaceful and rocky site at the west side of the town is an example of what kind of gems that this lovely province possesses.
