Callao Cave Penablance, Cagayan (Luzon)

Cagayan's CALLAO CAVE

Callao Cave is one of Cagayan province's best known tourist attractions. With 7 chambers and 3-4 crevices which allow natural light into the caves, the place is a photographer's paradise. Located in a remote place in Penablanca town (500kms+ drive from Manila), it has been featured and included on the WOW Philippines website and ads. I knew the place was beautiful based from internet photos and from ads, but visiting it awed me. I would like to share some captures of this wonderful cave and let the photos speak for themselves.

Stalactites and stalagmites at the 4th chamber:



I love shooting rocks in beaches or river.....shooting them in caves provides a different challenge.



Here's a pano shot of the Chapel (2nd chamber). The cave entrance is at the right. The bright portion at the left near the altar is due to the light coming down from the crevice above.
