Puraran - Surf and bum! | Puraran - Surf Destination |
Catanduanes is one of my travel destinations by incident. Got some work here to energize a supplied power transformer; and I cant help myself trying to squeeze some time in-between or after work to check the place. Have gone as far as Puraran Beach - a word-of-the-mouth beach destination.
Very tranquil and not yet (at least) touristy, Puraran Beach in Baras, Catanduanes hosts one of the legs of the annual Phil Surfing Circuit Competition. Favorable swells from October to January. |
|  | Waterfalls everywhere. Geographically mountainous with lush forrests, Catanduanes abounds with many waterfalls. The cascading Solong Falls in San Miguel is just one of them. |
| | Bike and pump your lungs with fresh air! The roads in Catanduanes are generally of the gravel type. The hilly and flatlands combination of the islands geography is very irresistible for a MTBike cross-country rider like me. Great varied scenery and yes, the seabreeze seems to keep me at a faster pace eager to see what's next around that bend. |

I agree with you. We all need fresh air. Calcutta is highly polluted city and very crowded with vehicles and pollution. I wish someday we think like you people. | kiwi Thu Dec 29, 2005 07:18 UTC
How lucky you are for work to take you to these places then allow you to go biking there. The waterfalls are just simply gorgous! Yes biking with such scenery must be fabulous. Great page thanks! | i-s-a Mon Nov 21, 2005 04:26 UTC
You have many wonderful local pages...this is one of my favorites. Hmmm I love bicycling too but I have yet to try riding a mountain bike. Hindi ko abot! ;0P |
