Visitors guide
Visitors can expect a natural, relatively undeveloped limestone cave set in forested karst terrain near Barangay San Juan. The interior contains stalactites, stalagmites and rock chambers accessible by foot with a local guide. The approach involves a short trek from the village along trails. There are no developed walkways or lighting inside, so exploration is guided and requires flashlights. The surroundings are rural and quiet, with vegetation and limestone outcrops.
