Capisaan Cave — Attraction in Nueva Vizcaya

08 Jun 2022: We did the through-and-through course (Alayan I to Lion), and it took 4 hours to complete (an experienced spelunker or hiker who is not shutter-happy could probably complete the course in 2 hours). It's a beautiful adventure, but while the course is not all that technical, be informed that the course is mostly through cold water, and you have to be prepared to crawl, duck-walk, and probably even get submerged for a few moments.

The most beautiful cave I've been to here in the Philippines. I swear. From amazing formations to pristine speleothems, cave fauna (bats, crabs, fishes, birds) and great spots for IG-worthy shots!

You can also ask your guide to lead you to some secret spots wherein it's not open to the public, these spots are super pristine/untouched and it's sparkly amazing!! I've been here twice and I suggest you get ready to get wet and have an adventure...
