Pagat Cave Trailhead — Attraction in Yigo Municipality

Parking is on the side of the road in the dirt. There is a lip off the road so please be careful not to get your car stuck. The entrance is near the telephone pole.

This is a STEEP hike. Wear shoes with grip and gloves for the limestone. There are guideropes for going up and down the rock. Once you're down in the cave area it's a narrow squeeze inside but you don't have to go underwater.

After the cave if you keep going to the arch you must cross a narrow path of rock where slipping will cause you to fall into the ocean and likely die. I'm not kidding. Don't do this drunk or high. It is easy enough for children to do but understand the gravity of it. You don't need to cross to see the arch but being on the final rock is how you see out into the ocean and the expanse of island.

Hike out back the way you came in, being mindful of the ancient village you'll be walking through. Getting back up is moderately hard. You will need to climb with hands and feet or use the rope. It is long and hard so remember that retuning will take much longer than coming in so ration your water accordingly.

Otherwise, beautiful hike and great views. It is definitely a...

On our way back, I got lost and somehow went on a trail that puts you in a loop. I have no idea why it had markings. It was orange tape. Be very careful and make sure you go with a group and don’t lose eye sight of each other. The way back is entirely uphill, with climbing required. This is not for people out of shape. You need to take breaks every 5 minutes. The heat...

Awesome hike!! Start early as the temperatures are cooler and there are less people. We started our hike at 0830 and we're the first ones on site. This has a slight drawback for there were many spiders/webs to clear out during the first mile. The payoff was that we had about 20 minutes of the cave completely to ourselves. Once people started pouring in, we went towards the ocean for a cliff jump/cove swim. Amazing experience with adventurous/ uneasiness feeling throughout. This is what makes the trip worthwhile. Highly recommend this for you will never forget or...
