Bukilat and Timobo Caves
TIMOBO CAVE
Camotes Island is blessed with numerous caves but only few are known as tourist spots.. The Timobo Cave and Bukilat Cave are the most famous.
Went to Timobo cave first as Manong Ban, our driver for the day tour, said we can take a dip in its cool waters. Entrance fee is foe P10/head only, and had to walk under and below. The place is actually similar to Hinagdanan cave in Panglao Island, Bohol. But what makes this cave unique is that you can find a small grotto with the statue of Virgin Mary. The locals said they honor it to Mother Mary, whom they believe will always keep an eye on them and ensures everyone is safe while at the cave. It was refreshing, especially that travel time took about half an hour from Lake Danao and we were only riding a motorbike for the tour.
BUKILAT CAVE
The Bukilat cave is located at the town of Poro. Its name derived from Bukilat, who was known to be the first inhabitant in the area. The cave was also used as a shelter or hiding place from the Japanese during the World War II. For P10 only, you can take a peek at the magnificent and interesting formations of the cave with natural skylights through its windows above it.
