Bagumbongan Caves, Underground River and Cascade

March 19 - 20, 2011

Bagumbongan Caves,

Subterranean River and Cascade

Adventure

Barangay San Isidro, Santa Cruz, Marinduque, Philippines

Beautiful Rock Formations

The Stalactites and Stalagmites are magnificent, they sparkle once light hits them.

 We planned this adventure a couple of times and finally after all the planning, we ended up camping for the night and decided to do the spelunking the next morning, just the three of us (Reymart, Ramil and me).
The others are "unavailable", too bad they couldn't come but the three of us were lucky enough to see the beautiful underground world of Bagumbongan, San Isidro.

Our campfire seems to be overwhelming, back up a little 'pre ^_^

 I cropped the picture, the camera caught something unfit for publishing :p

By the way, that's me with the "kalderito" (coined term for "small kaldero")

That's Reymart and Ramil getting ready to set-up the tent

 The vertical drop entrance to the cave

Signing in the Barangay's logbook is exciting too, you get to post your name and everyone who visits the place will see. A lot of groups have paid a visit to the Caves, mostly from ABS-CBN and GMA7

The Underground River of Bagumbongan Caves

My Motorbike survived all the skidding

*The muddy barangay roads are quite hard-hitting on our motorcycles. Our tires did not sink in the mud but we slipped a couple of times.

We survived the skidding. We survived San Isidro! ^_^/



IMPORTANT:

*The added pictures inside the caves were taken from a friend's album.


*Do not Litter! Leave nothing but footprints!


 Thank you to Kapitan and especially to tita Virgie.
