tayangban cave

Описание: Tayangban Cave
The caves were the best part of Tayangban, and if you are short on time then we recommend choosing the caves over the cliff jumping.

On Siargao, next to the Magpupungko Rock Pools, lies the inland wonder known as the Tayangban Cave Pool. This cave belongs to the category of cenote, or naturally occurring sinkhole, which is formed when limestone collapses to reveal substantial freshwater aquifers. The deepest waters of Tayangban Cave according to the locals, are above 100 meters deep. After the first Filipino cave divers investigated the cave pool, it became known as Kantoloi Twin Cenotes, which gradually changed to its titular name.

The caves are actually quite cool and there were tonnes of stalagmites and stalactites throughout (although I never can remember which is which). There was also a section of the cave with hundreds of bats flying around and hanging from the ceiling.

Most of the caves are half filled with water and swimming through them in the pitch black was an epic experience. Swimming through the various sections of the cave, you could feel the water temperature change drastically from one segment to the next.
