Madlum river is the first thing you will notice as soon as you arrive Sitio Madlum Brgy. Kamias, San Miguel Bulacan. It is the starting point for cave exploring Mt. Manalmon and Mt. Gola climbing. Even those who are not into those activities can just go for a cold plunge, a sweet escape from humid weather. Also, another exciting activity can be found Monkey bridge crossing over the river and zipline over the Monkey bridge. – Read More:  astignito.blogspot.com

At first, I thought that we were about to go to a historical cave in Biak na Bato where wide holes and large hideouts can be seen. Well, I was wrong. Bayukbok cave is a popular attraction in San Miguel so I expected an easy “walk in the park” caving adventure like what we did in Calinawan Cave in Tanay. But then again, I was wrong! I never thought that an extreme spelunking experience that will pump up our adrenalin awaits us.

Bayukbok Cave is part of the Biak na Bato National Park of San Miguel Bulacan. One can also include this to an outdoor adventure along with a climb at Mount Manalmon or Mount Gola. Read More: https://sansapinas.blogspot.com/2014/02/sa-bayukbok-cave-san-miguel-bulacan.html
