Nagpatong Rock consists of two towering limestone cliffs facing each other. These towers seem to be made up of layers of huge blocks of rock place on top of each other hence the name Nagpatong, from Tagalog word “patong” or to put on top. But how these rock formations were formed is a secret only nature knows. The most photographed view of Nagpatong Rock is the one with a flat top which is usually taken from the other rock formation. To accomplish this shot, your guide will assist you to the flat top before going to the other rock formation to take the shot. Nagpatong Is really an impressive formation but not for those who have weak hearts or fear of heights. Climbing to the top of the rock is not easy as it involves climbing through bamboo ladders and vertical walls, so climb at your own risk. Risky but a worthy feat!
