Bukilat Cave

Eastern Visayas


In the far east of the island, just north of MacArthur, is the remote, well-hidden Bukilat Cave. One inky-black corner is apparently the start of a long passage through which an underground stream flows. If you're up for the swim, it can be explored properly providing you can rustle up a guide and some torches (flashlights).
