Bukilat Cave

Camotes Island has become popular recently due to its rising attractions that had been hidden from the public’s eye for years. Now, people are turning their heads in amazement of the place. One of the island’s wonders that contributed to its rise to fame is Bukilat Cave, an enchanting cave with cold and pure waters one can swim in. Located in Tudela of Camotes Island, it is part of the eight natural caves that formed there. Many rumors and legends have already surfaced about the cave. Some say it even holds treasure! In actual history, during World War II, many of the residents used the cave as a shelter to hide from the Japanese army. Stalactites and stalagmites decorate the cave, indicating that it is indeed old. In the middle of the cave, light shines from the top during the day illuminating the insides. The water shows a bright reflection inviting you to take a dip. How deep the water is depends on the time whether it is high tide or low tide. Be sure to bring with you extra clothes!
