Captivating Capiz: Suhot Cave in Dumalag


Suhot spring and cave is one of the most beautiful pride of Capiz found in Dumalag and only 300 meters away from the provincial road. It is actually a series of interconnected caverns of different sizes. At the cave’s arched entrance is a pool of clear, ice-cold water fed by a rock spring from within the cave. Suhot is believed to have a connecting tunnel to the Badiang Cave in Dumarao since both caves are found in the same mountain only 6 km. apart from each other, although Badiang is on a higher elevation. On the other hand, entrance to Badiang is hidden by dense jungle. Its innermost recesses and labyrinthine passages have remained unexplored.

It is considered one of the longest caves in the country and has late been drawing amateur and seasoned spelunkers. The body of water in front of the cave is rich in minerals and originates from the watersheds of Panginraon. It flows through a subterranean passage and empties through the cave’s bowl-like opening guarded by a wall of solid rock.
