Pawikan Cave in Islas de Gigantes in Carles, Iloilo.
If you want to go to a amazing place then here in Islas de Gigantes in Carles, Iloilo you will find Pawikan Cave. I went there once with my family and I tell you its a must see attraction and a spectacular place. Upon entering in this cave, we were greeted with a huge entrance chamber and the sight of amazing rock formations. Within the cave there are more several cave chambers that are being lighted with the little openings on the cave ceiling.
I felt like i was in a different place i mean i felt "other-worldly". We were guided by locals and they were telling us that their elders told them that they shouldn't go there because they will disturb the spirits living in the cave. But don't worry we got out safe and didn't encounter strange things.
The locals said that the cave was named "Pawikan" because of the large egg-shaped rock formations (that resembles giant turtle eggs) that is placed at one of the deep chambers of the cave. They also said that the "pawikan eggs" were devised by the Japanese Imperial Army as a marker to indicate the location where they buried gold bars which were believed as part of the Yamashita Treasure. Now, the "Pawikan eggs" are gone with extensive dug up holes at the site. But the place was still wonderful despite of that.
But you know what it's kind of hard getting in Pawikan Cave since you need to climb a hill and enter a forest and it's very challenging for us because it is 200ft high. So you better be careful if you want to go there. But it's very worth it since the place was amazing and beautiful. We got there by a boat and we got in the cave for about an hour.
This place is great for people who likes to hike and loves to explore. We enjoyed our time here in Islas de Gigantes especially in Pawikan Cave. We've never seen a cave that is great than that. So if ever you will go in Islas de Gigantes go to Pawikan Cave for a beautiful scenery.
