Through the Earth or Over the Waters

Cagayan's natural attractions include its numerous cave systems where you will find wonders of nature formed by tiny drops of water over millions of years. Feel the subtle energy of the earth in underground canals, rivers and lakes good for swimming, photography and even cave-diving. Explore the different cave systems: Callao with its 7 chambers, the 12-km-long Odessa-Tumbali, the 115-mtr-deep Jackpot, the underground river of Duba Cave in Baggao, and more. Learn the art of cave-crawling through various peculiar rock formations, and spelunking (rappeling/climbing).

Rapel Cave

If you want to find out your limits, let your spirit fly with a kayak or raft ride through white-water rapids in the Pinacanauan and Chico tributaries.

Or you may take a calm boat ride at dusk in Mororan, where you may see the awe-inspiring sight of thousands of bats streaming into the fading light of sunset.
