#Southeast Asia Travel #Philippines Travel #Bohol Travel 📍Hinagdanan Cave (JRG2+496, Dauis, Bohol) ⏰Opening Hours 07:30~17:00 🤿 Cave Swimming Hours 08:00~16:00 ✔️Entrance Fee: 50 pesos ✔️Cave Swimming: 75 pesos Hinagdanan Cave is a natural stalactite cave that was formed naturally over a long period of time by continuous erosion due to rainwater or groundwater seeping into the ground. Originally, the area was covered with bushes and was not noticeable to people, but it is said that it was discovered by farmers who came to reclaim the area in the 16th century. The farmers built a ladder to easily enter and exit the cave, and it is said that it became 'Hinagdanan' Cave, which means 'ladder'. The cave entrance is quite narrow, and the stairs going down are extremely steep and slippery, so be careful when going down. Fortunately, there is flat ground after coming down the rough stairs. Contrary to expectations that it would be extremely dark and dangerous inside, there are railings and lights here and there, so it was safe and not scary☺️ If you go deep into the cave, you will find a lake inside the cave that was naturally created by groundwater and nearby seawater. Even though the water is deep enough that you can't touch the bottom, the bottom is so clear that you can see it clearly. It's also fun to swim in this natural lake inside the cave. That's why there are always staff members inside the cave who rent out life jackets. You can have such a fun schedule without going far from the island, just by investing a little time in the morning. I highly recommend Hinagdanan Cave as a short tour course in the morning.
