Full details at https://happyandbusytravels.com/calinawan-cave/
Calinawan Cave came from the word “linaw” meaning bright, it is so ironic because it is dark inside the cave. But “linaw” in this case means clarification, because the Filipinos and Americans had a clarification in their agreement inside this cave.
The cave has 5 stages, but we just visited 2 to save time. There are crystals, stalagmites, and stalactites inside the cave. Just be careful not to touch them.
While inside the cave, there are options to choose from, the hard path or the easy path. But of course we choose the hard path.

Time spent: 30 mins (2 stages) to 4 hours (if you will do all of the 5 stages)
