The Liktinon White Rocks is a beautiful labyrinth of bone-white boulders, grottoes and stone bath tubs sculpted by crystalline, sweet-tasting water gushing through the virgin jungle valley that belongs to the Aklan River Watershed Forest Reserve.
Rocks carved and smoothened by centuries of water flow.
With its quiet charm, White Rocks is a perfect place to commune with nature.
It was hard to transfer from one area to another as you have to literally jump over boulders, thus the name, liktinon, meaning, to jump.
HOW TO GET THERE
From Kalibo, take a jeepney bound for Libacao and alight at Madalag. Travel time can take up to one and a half hours. Visitors are advised to register at the town hall before going to Liktinon White Rocks. For tourist assistance, contact municipal tourism officer Francisco “Escot” Intela at +63 9214885954.
From Madalag town proper, habal-habal motorbikes (PHP 100, one-way) can take you to Barangay Galicia, the jump-off point for the two to three-hour hike to Liktinon White Rocks along the Timbaban River. One may return to Barangay Galicia by bamboo raft, which can be arranged by the tourism officer. Alternatively, motorbikes can also drop you off at Barangay Maria Cristina (PHP 150, one-way), where it’s only a one-hour hike to Sitio Liktinon.
