Calupnitan Cave has one of the most magnificent stalactite formations in its interiors. The caves contain countless stalagmites, stalactites, and pillars ranging from massive to delicate. Millions of bats emerge wildly from these caves, a rare but fearsome spectacle. Read More: http://phvacation.blogspot.com/2013/06/camarines-sur.html

Looking for some thrill and adventure while in Caramoan took me and my friends to Culapnit Cave on Good Friday. We walked for more than an hour (it felt like 3 hours) before reaching the cave at Sitio Bariw in Tabgon. Culapnit Cave got its name from “kulapnit” which means bat in the local dialect. Thousands of bats live inside the cave, good thing they were all asleep when we visited. I’ve always wanted to see thousands of bats flying out of the cave at dusk–unfortunately, it was in the middle of afternoon when we came out. 

Various rock formations, stalagmites and stalactites are found inside the cave, marbleized patterns on the walls; a dried up cascading waterfall left a terraces-like formation. There was fresh, cool water from an underground stream. The cave is well-maintained—it’s clean, no musky, damp odor and there were no graffiti on the walls. Some passages were too narrow we had to crawl on our stomachs to get to the other side.  Read more:  http://bilogangbuwanniluna.blogspot.com/2010/06/culapnit-cave-my-world.html
