Magical Magpupungko







A wonderful surprise during my visit to Siargao was my trip to Magpupungko. This relatively new tourist destination in Siargao is a 30 minute drive from General Luna. Its main attraction are the natural pool formations which appears at low tide. So you have to check the schedule of low tide and time your visit accordingly.

You can only enjoy this beautiful natural pool for about 3 hours during low tide.The sea water is so calm and clean and there are even live corals. The pool is set against a backdrop of limestone formations and raging sea waters which are calmed by the corals and rocks on the beach area.

Magpupungko is a unique and magical place. And the local tourism experts told me that it was in fact featured on National Geographic. Make a visit to Magpunpungko a "must" when you go to Siargao.
