The Calbiga Cave, the Philippines’ biggest karst formation and at 2970 hectares, one of the largest in Asia, is an adventurer’s playground. It was only first systematically explored in 1987 by an eight-person team of Italian speleologists, and the main cave, Langun, has a chamber the size of three football fields. All these attraction are between one and two hours’ drive, plus between 1 hour and 1 hour 30 minutes’ walk, from the Calbiga proper.
