Amazing Callao Cave in the North




Callao Caves Tourist Zone in Penablanca Town, Province of Cagayan, is known as a Caving and Mountaineering Paradise. About 480 kilometers of good roads through the Maharlika Highway, CCTZ is site of more than 300 cave systems including archeological, recreational and highly technical caves; wet, dry, or a combination of wet and dry caves. From very easy recreational caves to the most difficult caving experience.

Callao Cave is a cave with seven chambers located on the Province of Cagayan, in the Philippines. It is one of the best known tourist attractions of the province. It is located in Barangays Parabba and Quibal, Peñablanca, near Tuguegarao, the capital city of the Province of Cagayan. It has a natural cathedral located at the first chamber, which was turned into a chapel by the local people. The conditions inside the cave cause stalactites and stalagmites, particularly in the deeper chambers. Every chamber has natural crevices, which let light get into the cave, serving as illumination for the otherwise dark areas of the place.

You can reach Callao Cave by North bound bus (Victory Liner, Florida Bus etc.) and by plane (Air Philippines and Philippine Airlines) from Manila to Tuguegarao, Cagayan.
