-Agta Cave-

Agta Cave is one of the most mega factor and complex cave I ventured.


Agta Cave is situated in Argao, Cebu. It is a narrow foot trail by the side of Mount Lantoy that leads to the entrance of the said cave. It was a very challenging and difficult journey because it was just my first time to climb a cave like that. We headed first to the cave on the first day of our climb and on the second day was the mountain itself. The narrow trail to the cave was very steep and slippery. The gaping hole on the roof near the middle of the cave was also known as skylight. The height of the cave at this junction has been measured to be 175 feet which is very high. Aside from that, you still have to stoop to pass the narrow mountainside trail to the entrance of the cave. Moreover, cling on a tree branch just to get into the passage which is one of the most dangerous way. The place was kinda scary because there were mountaineers who died on the spot because they fell to the rock crevices below. You should be careful in getting inside and bags should be tossed first or vice versa. You should not carry your heavy bags with you in passing the said entry for safety purposes. One wrong move and you will be so dead.


Here are some pictures taken by a friend.
