Since my younger age ( i'm not saying i'm old na ha...hahaha) i am a stalagmite and stactite fan. I always wanted to see the real one with my own eyes. So going to the cave is on my bucket list. I know Calinawan Cave doesn't have that beautiful stalagmite and stalactite like sagada cave have but calinawan cave have its own beauty and it is a good start to my more stactite and stalagmite encounter...
