Some overdue photos from Callao Cave in the town of Peñablanca, in the province of Cagayan.

A glimpse of the entrance to the cave. The cool breeze invites you in, which is a stark contrast to the hot and humid weather 180-something steps below.

Yes, there is an actual chapel inside the first chamber of the cave.


I think from this point forward, I pretty much gave up in trying to take decent photos because it was really slippery. Even trying to walk was a chore, I had to hold on to my Dad for support.

On our way back out. We only explored five out of the total seven passable chambers. Rumor has it though that there are actually fourteen chambers.
It’s frustrating that at the age of 19 (turning 20 a couple of months from now), I still haven’t accomplished anything that I could be proud of. I’m not even sure if it’s because I do not exert that much effort or I am simply not good enough to do something, anything remarkable.
Sigh.
