If you think that living in far flung provinces like Manukan, Zamboanga del Norte is dull and boring, think again. With its vibrant tropical weather, it is a good place for caving trips. Liboton Cave is one place where your penchant for challenge will be put to the test. It is located 7 kilometers away from the Liboton proper and is composed of 7 interconnecting caves; however, only three are open for the public to explore.
Just like some of the more popular caves in the Philippines, Liboton cave has majestic stalagmites which remain untouched. You will see frozen stalactites and makes you want to eat it like frozen popsicles. Following the path of the light shooting from the entrance hole of the cavern located at the top will reveal a tower made of calcite just below the cave floor. The municipality of Manukan is just 38 kms. away from Dipolog City or less than an hour travel time using private van or vehicle.

Simply put, the wrong step could lead to death and disaster.
Not long after we entered the first cave, Renan pointed at a spider on a wall. I amazed myself by leaning close, my headlamp joining Renan’s to illuminate it. I took a photo and leaned back. “That’s a male,” he said. “Harmless.” Read More: https://www.e-know.ca/travel-tourism/a-newbie-spelunker-ventures-into-libuton-cave/
