PANLIGAWAN CAVE


The mouth opening of the Panligawan Cave.


Panligawan was derived from the tagalog word "LIGAW" which means "to court" or "to woo" a girl usually for marriage. 


This is where men bring the woman they like for a private talk and try to gain the love of their muse.


 The heart shaped opening where the sun rays comes in, symbolizes their love.


Panligawan Cave and Pandalihan Cave are seated next to each other.


You will pass through a coffee walkway connecting the two caves.

PANDALIHAN CAVE


Entrance of the Pandalihan Cave


Beautiful waterfall formation of stalagmites and stalactites.


Inside the Pandalihan Cave is a pitch black tunnel. This chamber requires head lamps for you to be able to see a different kind of rock formations like melted candles.


CRYSTAL CAVE


The prettiest cave amongst them all.


It is user-friendly and easily accessible for beginners.


Spelunkers are provided with steel pathways and railings.
The cave is well lighted so formations can be easily seen from the foot bridges.


Stalagmites and Stalactites glitters and shimmers like crystals even in the dark.
