About Kapurpurawan Rock Formation
Kapurpurawan Rock Formation is a natural limestone formation located on the coast of Burgos in Ilocos Norte, Philippines. Formed by wind and wave erosion over millions of years, its distinctive ivory-white color and sculpted ridges resemble a white castle. Situated along the South China Sea coastline, it is one of Ilocos Norte's most photographed landmarks and is accessible by a short walk or horseback ride from the jump-off point.
Visitors guide
Visitors can expect a striking ivory-white limestone formation sculpted by wind and waves into ridges and arches along a rugged coastline facing the South China Sea. The site is reached by a 10-15 minute walk or horseback ride from the jump-off point across sandy and rocky terrain. There is a designated viewing area in front of the formation where visitors can view, photograph, and walk around the base with a local guide. The surrounding area is open and exposed with coastal cliffs, sea views, and minimal shade.
