Combento Cave — Attraction in Anda

No sign board once you enter the street. Landmark on the left side are concrete pillars.

No parking for cars. Just street parking (park on the very side if possible so others can pass -- narrow road).

We actually went to the first cave pool we saw. We didn't know Combento cave was farther up ahead. The first cave pool was small; perfect for a group of 6. It was like we had rented it privately. Lol

The main Combento cave pool was large; could fit more than 20 people I guess. We never tried going inside cos we were satisfied with the small private-ish cave pool we were hanging out in. To add though, there was litter around the entrance of the main Combento cave pool which made it unappealing for us to try entering; in addition to number of people inside (there were more than 10 people already).

I gave 4 stars to the first cave pool we went into for being private and perfect size for our group, natural with not much adjustments with the landscape, and cleaner than the main cave pool. *Sorry I did not take pictures of the small cave pool. But it was maybe half the size...

Amazeballs!!

Went on a Thursday afternoon and we were the only people around. The local officials charged us Php30.00 each for environmental fee right after we turned at the street headed to the cave pool.

Parking is at the road side and free as of posting. The ‘pool’ in the cave is shallow and since we were alone, it felt eerie and scary to jump in and swim. I saw that there are now efforts to get rid of the trash around the cave, which is much appreciated given the fees.

As a nature enthusiast, at the expense of tourists and locals, maybe it is best to only open such places for viewing and not swimming to preserve the structure. It takes hundreds of years to form stalactites and stalagmites which are now ruined due to human contact and exposure.

All in all, if you arrive at the right time, it is a serene place to relax or have a picnic. Though i can imagine it filled with guests on busy days.

It looks like a shrine...

It requires a P20 entrance fee per head (March 2018 rate), but that's just a small price to pay for the beauty you'd witness in this place. With three caves located close to each other, this is one spot in Anda that's a must-visit. I just wish there are waste bins in the area and that visitors, tourists, and locals of Anda would treat the place with respect.

Acts of vandalism are starting to show up on cave walls, liquor bottles and plastic trash hidden in cave cracks, under bushes, everywhere. If you guys happen to find a trash in the surroundings, even if it's not yours, please pick it up and dispose it properly. Let's help keep things...
