Travel 20 April 2010 | 3 Comments



Experiencing Bathala Caves is one of the most must-try when you visit Marinduque Island. located at Sta. Cruz, Marinduque is a complex network of seven caves however only four of which have so far been explored. One of the biggest is called “Simbahan.” “Kay Coke” cave, on the other hand, is occasionally guarded by pythons. The third cave has an underground river and the fourth one houses human bones believed to be the remains of  WWII soldiers.

During the trek you’ll experience steep climb and holding on sharp stone edges for your safety. Here’s my advice to guys who wants to give it a try. You must wear something comfortable tee’s cargo shorts and rubber shoes! And here’s what you should and should not bring. Bring at least half liter of water, a head flashlight your point and shoot camera and a face towel. Not to bring – Shades, DSLR cams (nowadays people buy these for better quality photos and bring them anywhere they want ), dangling accessories etc.
