BULACAN│Bayubok Cave II

There are two segments of the cave that you can explore. The first one I described above for me is just a warm up yet amazing. But if you want a real adventure like in movies finding treasure and chased by their enemies, you should try this one. But of course your guides will ask you if you want to have just one or both. According to our cave guides, this second one requires a lot of endurance and bravery! lol, it has lots of cliffs, narrowest holes and openings compared to other caves. In this picture, this was the moment we saw the light again after the dark sight from cave one! haha.

Resting for a while.

This is one of the hardest part. You have to climb here carefully because of the cliff around you. Just a wrong step and die from falling from like a 5 storey building.

There it is, a very high cliff on our right side and still stayed beautiful in this stressful moment.lol. Our cave guide said that this area is just like the seen from the hidden treasure movie.

Rock formation after we pass through that cliffy area.

Then you will be at the "baging" or vine area. If you want, you can swing through that long vine and move like Tarzan. haha.

After we went out of that cave, we head again to a forest, acended rocks and crossed an improvised wooden bridge (two trunks of trees.) 

And entered again a cave.

Walls here are quite different from the previous caves we entered.

The ceiling is different too. Have you noticed it? Hmm, I think it's bec. it is much higher  compared to the previous ones in terms of location.

This is the narrowest and the hardest hole I ever entered among the caves. Its like about 12 inches in diameter. Weew, would you imagine how he able to get out from there? look at the evidence from his shirt and you will know.:D

After that cool hole, we were having a break. Our guide "Tatay Tunying", the one who's wearing orange was checking if that upward path is easier or can be used by that time. Well unfortunately, "kuya Mel" said that that area was too slippery that time (because of rains due to Typhoon Bebeng) so they decided to choose to another path. Oh by the way, see that beautiful Stalagminte pillar? It's like a...

We noticed this huge spider, about size of a hand, silently watching us from the corner. 

We're almost near at the exit.

So the exit of the cave is from the top of that rock and we had to carefully go down.

THE LAST CHALLENGE

The bamboo bush. This is the last area where you have to dock underneath the bamboos and crawl under a gigantic rock.

This is the gigantic rock I'm referring to. It is really huge huh.

Yey! Mission successfully done!
