The Cave

Barangay Santo Niño · A Nice Cave & A Great View from its Peak!



About Our Experience
Agsuli Cave is cool! It won't take long for you to go to the cave's back entrance from its front entrance, say just around 20 minutes. The way inside is often low and narrow but not like other caves I've went through, this one was not muddy. We crawled from cavern to cavern. Halfway to the back entrance, there was this big cavern with big, thick, and tall roots coming from above us. We actually took photos of them. Well, you just have to bring good flashlights to light your way, because it is completely dark inside! Cave Tripping is one of my fascination.

Now as we go back, we have to trek around the mountain, through its peak and down again until we reach the front entrance. The way to its peak was a little difficult, since sharp limestones acted as stairs going up (and down), we have to move carefully from limestone to limestone. It was thrilling actually! We were told by Ryan, our tour guide, to be extra careful of stepping on the clusters of leaves, because these could be small openings that lead to the cave. Aaaawwww!

Upon reaching the peak, we were elated by the view! A wide span of mountains and forests were laid before us! It also overlooked the SEA and the wind coming from it gave us a refresing rest. We stayed there for 10 minutes.

As we go down again and through the forest, we just thought that this experience was a good way to start our week-long vacation. It was indeed!
