Why it ranks
Large limestone cave south of Sagada town known for its rock formations and underground pools, explored on guided descents arranged through the town's tourism office.
Don't miss: Descend with a lamp-carrying guide through the chambers to the underground pools.
Best for: Adventurous visitors comfortable with slippery rock and wading; not for those with mobility issues.
Good to know: Guides are mandatory and assigned at the tourism office; wear footwear with grip and expect to get wet, and allow 2–3 hours for the cave alone.
