Captivating Capiz- The Genuine Twin Cave

Having a total land area of 11,559 hectares and with 24 barangays. Pilar, Capiz , Philippines is bounded with many physical attractions. Ranging from man-made to natural made. The most number one attraction is the Miraculous Medal at Agtalin hill in Barangay Dulangan. But there are many things a Pilareño can be proud of.

As you can remember in my previous post, that Pilar, as many people said, the name of Pilar came from the two tall caves in the northern part of the town that looks like an entrance. Then it gave it the name for its pillar-like structure. One of these caves it is found at Barangay Natividad, the largest barangay of the town.

Pilar cave at Natividad Pilar, Capiz, Philippines was indeed one of its beautiful features. The marble stone which is always mistaken to be sculpted is a natural feature Pilar can offer.

The openings of the cave are really inviting, but sorry to tell you that during my hiking in the place, there’s a lot of water and that made me think of not entering. Well, this is my second time to be in the cave. The first one is having a tour inside and now on the outside. Both inside and out are splendid.

If you hear about the myth of Gold Ship, well, sorry to tell but it is in the twin cave of this cave that I tell you. This two cave is facing each other but you can never dare me to go to that cave. This cave is rich for its magnificent structures. Where big rocks have its unique shape.
