SAGADA CAVES

SUMAGING CAVE

          

           Sumaging cave is a frequent tourist attraction and is also one of the most popular cave in sagada. Also known as the "Big Cave", this cave served as the Filipino Soldiers' refuge from the Japanese guerrillas during the World WAR II. It is interconnected to other caves in Sagada such as the Lumiang Cave and one would usually take almost 2 to 3 hours to explore the cave.

          There were also thousands of bats at the cave's opening so you better watch out for dropping bat guano as you go down the cave. in the middle of the trail, you were then asked by your guides to remove your sandals/slippers/shoes since it is iesier to walk barefoot on the steep rocks.

          Inside the cave , one will surely be astonished by the cave's natural and splendid beauty.You will see different and awesome rock formations with funny and interesting names, tiny waterfalls, a mini pool and magnificent stalactites and stalagmites as you trail down the cave.

          There are also some parts of the trail where you will need to geet in through tiny holes, pass by high steep inner passages, rappel using rustic ropes and walk or swim in waist deep cold water.

           For those tourists who are more adventurous and who would want more adrenaline rush, try the "CAVE CONNECTION".
