Panhulugan Caves

[VictoriaPorizkova]

Panhulugan Cave 1

This cave frames itself in an angular limestone cliff forming a letter “H” where its three (3) main cracks serve to wit its form, its two (2) parallel legs lying 50 meters apart and connected at the entrance by a perpendicular crosspiece.

The cracks serve to be the hub opening for internal hallways. All portions of this cave are geologically active as evidenced by the constant drips of water from stalactites.

The internal cave chambers measured some 49.2 feet high at the end of its leg.

Its cathedral immensity contains a mismaze interior that branch out into many multi-leveled chambers and tunnels with an infinite variety of flowstones and rock formations resembling some familiar images of the outside world ranging from miniature of famous tourist spots. It is located within the Sohoton National Park in Basey.

Panhulugan Cave II

The cave resembles a scar formed by a rock shelter around 164 feet (50 meters) in length and 16.4 feet (5 meters) in height.

It is also topographically divided into four parts: Areas, A, B, C and D. Snow-white glittering stalactites of various symmetry hang from the cave’s ceiling, while the brownish to grayish stalagmites seem to grow endless on the cave’s floor.

Also located within the Sohoton National Park in Basey.

I checked out more about Sohoton National Park. It's a sprawling park with some amazing geology, including those caves as well as underground rivers and limestone boulders. The park offers a host of outdoor adventures, including kayaking and hiking.

And you get to ride over the San Juanico Bridge, the country's longest bridge.
