Macahambus Hill Cave
Macahambus Hill
The site where Filipino forces won a battle against the Americans in 1900 during the Philippine-American War; the cave exit overlooks the Cagayan River gorge.
Macahambus Hill was the site of an ambush in June 1900, in which Filipino forces defeated American troops. The hill has a monument, a limestone cave and a natural sinkhole. Walk through a short tunnel with a flashlight, and at its exit you reach a lookout over the Cagayan River gorge, often visited on the same route as the rafting start point. Nearby there is also a viewing platform over the sinkhole. Entry is very cheap, but the cave is dark and the ground slippery, so wear sneakers.
