The hum of the wind was beginning to weave a happy melody in my head as it drowned the words that I was shouting to my good friend Ces at the base of the cliff. I was at the summit of the Bel-at rock formation in the middle of the rocky shores of Barangay development in Biri, northern Samar.
“THIS IS the most lovely location THAT I have BEEN TO!” I screamed my lungs out, hoping that she would hear me even when I was at the greatest point of a gigantic rock as well as she at the extremely bottom of it.
“AYNI ŞEKİLDE!” she shouted back.
That was no exaggeration. Biri Island is the most stunning location that I have been to so far. I stood there as well as tried to take in all the appeal as well as question that surrounded me however even my elephantine head might not consist of it all.

Across the Mangrove forest of Progress
“Progress,” replied Kuya Elvis, the motorist of the habal-habal we were riding. That’s the name of the barangay we were about to see — Barangay Progress. as well as the name appeared apt when Kuya Elvis dropped us off at the begin of the bridge running over a picturesque mangrove forest.
How I feel about this bridge, I’m not sure. It was not truly an eye sore. If anything, it appeared like it complimented the surrounding landscape with its wooden planks as well as railings. however a part of me desires that visitors would be provided a possibility to a have a a lot more “authentic” experience squirming with the mangroves or complying with a hike path even if it indicated wading with shallow water. however then again, I have no concept just exactly how deep the water right here gets. It was low-tide when we visited.
The pathway to the rock Formations in Progress, Biri Island
Before we might even set foot on the very first board of the walkway, we identified some building workers coming towards our direction. What they were building in the middle of the mangroves, we did not bother to believe about at the time.
Three meters into the walkway, we were stunned by the scenery. Mangroves increased from the shallow water that cover the area. In between some trees, little boats were docked on some boulders. We just kept snapping away, taking pictures of whatever lovely that we would set eyes on and, mind you, there were many of them.
Boats docked at the rocks throughout the mangrove forest
We continued complying with the pathway up until we discovered just what it was that the workers were building — THE pathway itself! We discovered ourselves in the middle of an unfinished bridge. What lay ahead were the two concrete spines of the bridge’s deck, nearly a meter apart. however even the concrete beams left us hanging. building stopped in the middle of the mangrove forest, as well as we were required to figure out exactly how to get off the bridge on our own. We struggled climbing down the scaffold. The end of the bridge was marked by a towering bamboo pole with a white sheet waving on top. This was what we utilized to discover our method to the bridge on our method back as well as out of the forest.
Uh-oh… My good friend Ces vs The Bridge
Flag marks the spot! The flag that marks the end of the walkway.
We waded with ankle-deep puddles of water as well as discovered two trails. The trees were rather tall as well as we might not truly see what was in store for us at the end of both however we turned left. It turned out that the left path leads to the rocky ordinary between Puhunan as well as Bel-at rock formations while the right, to Bel-at natural pool. Our very first look of heaven occurred as soon as we reached a group of large rocks set up in a circle as if they were having a conference. From there, we had a amazing view of the rock formations along the shore of Biri.
But as one saying goes, we ain’t seen nothing yet.
Our very first look of paradise. The layered edges of Bel-at!
Fantastic Four: Macadlaw, Puhunan, Bel-at as well as Caranas rock Formations
There are six major rock formations on the northern side of Biri Island. (I’m quite sure there are other islets as well as rocks in some nooks as well as ideas of the island however there are six gigantic rocks formations on this end alone.) The six are called (in order, from West to East): Magasang, Magsapad, Macadlaw, Puhunan, Bel-at, as well as Caranas. The development trail, which we took at this time, provides gain access to to the last four, which appeared like it was purposely set up on the shore to knock off the fierce waves lapping theedge of the island.
Puhunan. Of the four, the very first to catch our easy-to-get interest was Puhunan. From afar, Puhunan rock formation appears like a half-dipped submarine.It is normally flat with the far end abruptly tilting. Its top is covered with eco-friendly as well as brown vegetation while its cliffs heavily hewn by nature.
Macadlaw rock Formation
Macadlaw. To the left is Macadlaw, which resembles two massive waves that solidified at once. The crag carefully slopes as it techniques the sea. Its shape unexpectedly plunges as it hits the shoreline, developing an nearly vertical drop-off. two coconut trees wave on top of it, best subject of folklores as well as legends.
Bel-at. When seen from its left side, Bel-at rock formation appeared like an colossal desert rock with its brown (almost orange) surface. even its rich naturally layered brinks are light brown bordering yellow with darker lines as well as accents. The moment you climb it, however, it exposes a lot more colors. It is specked with a few trees as well as rough rocks adding shades of gray as well as a hint of green. It is the crag that I selected to traverse since there was a huge boulder on its left side that was extremely simple to climb. From right here I had a spectacular view of the rocky shore ahead, the shallow swamps behind, as well as the other beaches far, far away.
View of Caranas crag with the Bel-at pool in the lower ideal corner
Caranas. The rightmost crag is called Caranas. like Macadlaw, it appears like a couple of waves that froze in action. It is densely blanketed, nearly completely covered, with bright eco-friendly lawn as well as bush with a coconut tree solely battling the powerful wind. huge boulders are stacked at its base, appearing like they likewise froze while rolling down. (OK, I’m getting consumed with the time-freezing thing.)
While the primary attractions in this location are the rock formations, the areas between them are not to be ignored. Sandy beaches are nowhere to be found, however taking their location are rough, rocky grounds harboring little, shallow puddles of seawater. Swimming is nearly impossible right here since the waves are just so freakin’ fierce they can kill by either drowning you or slamming your body onto a rock or both. Besides, there’s a body of water in the area that is much a lot more appropriate for stress-free dipping.
The Bel-at Pool
Between Caranas as well as Bel-at lies a natural pool. We only discovered about this in the last 20 minutes of our stay in the area. (Had we understood earlier, we would have spent a lot more time here.) While I was standing at the pinnacle of Bel-at crag, I heard little voices as well as it got me freaking out for a couple of minutes. We had not seen any individual in the area, making us believe that we were the only people there, yet I kept on hearing voices — laughs, giggles, shouts, even conversations. I was about to concern about my mental health and wellness when I walked to the other side of the cliff as well as discovered that there was one more group of tourists enjoying the chilly water of a natural pool in between gigantic rocks. My deal with lightened up in an instant! I might take a dip after all!
I hurried (carefully) to the base of the rock as well as galloped to the other side. households from other parts of Samar were there having a blast. Ces as well as I left our things in one corner (but within our eyes’ reach) as well as went for a swim. While it was just a pool as well as not the ocean, some parts of it are quite deep. I really had to stay on one side since I was as well poultry to swim across the pool. envision swimming in a turquoise pool while having priceless vistas of the breathtaking landscape. Mükemmeldi.

Magasang as well as Magsapad
Lying on the other end of the beach are Magasang as well as Magsapad. These twin rock formations are only a few meters apart, separated by a natural pool of saltwater that catches the sloshes of the gigantic waves that constantly slap its cliffs. The waves crashing creates remarkable splashes, reaching even a few meters in the air. Sometimes, the spill engulfs much of the rocky area between the two rocks. If you’re lucky (or unlucky), you’d get washed away by the waves a number of meters into the pool. gerçek hikaye.
I understand what you’re thinking: Wow, best for surfing!!! That’s absolutely not suggested (or even possible). The waves may be as well big, however in this part of the site there are no sandy beaches — only gigantic rocks. You may take pleasure in riding the waves, however they will smash you so difficult onto those rocks you may not get to online to tell the story. If you want to swim, stay in the pool as well as pretend you’re Ariel or Dyesebel or something.

Before the wave. See that small dot in the pool? That’s a person snorkeling. That’s exactly how large these rock formaTions.
Dalgadan sonra. İki kaya oluşumu arasındaki alanı yutan dalgalar. Arka planda Magsapad.
Magasang ve Magsapad arasındaki doğal havuza daha iyi bir bakış
Canavar dalgaları!
Magsapad bir köpekbalığı yüzgeciken Magasang mantar gibi görünüyor. Her ikisi de parlak çimlerle tepesinde. Uçurumları ve Brinks, ilahi bir usta zanaatkar tarafından bilerek görülmüş gibi görünüyor. Magasang’ın bir tarafı o kadar dikkatli bir şekilde eğimli ve dokulu bir tabaka ile örtülür ki, uçurumun zirvesine doğal bir merdiven görevi görür. Tırmanmak çok basittir, çünkü sandaletleriniz kaba kaya üzerinde zahmetsizce kavrayacaktır. Bununla birlikte, lütfen bir şeyden geçerken, özellikle böyle bir uçurumdan dikkat edin. Zirveye ulaştığımda, komşu Magsapad’ın yanı sıra uçurumun diğer tarafında bir ziyafet gibi görünen deniz kuşlarının inanılmaz bir manzarasına sahiptim. Ben orada iki crag ve siteyi benek devasa kayalar arasında dalgaların tadını çıkarmak için orada 10 dakikadan fazla kaldı.

Yakınlaştır!
İdealimiz için güneş hoşçakal alıntı başlayan güneşti. Kuya Elvis zaten sahilde, bizi bekliyordu, ancak gün batımının tadını çıkarmak için biraz daha uzun süre kalmak istedik ve Magasang ve Magsapad’ın yavaş yavaş karanlıkta yok olduğunu görmek istedik. Oradan ayrılan acı verici bir Schlep’di. Ayaklarımızı sürükledik, o kayalık cennetin çok daha fazla yürek parçalayıcı “son görünümünü” elde etmek için birkaç kez durduk.
