Holy Crystal Cave (Camotes Island)

" Keep nothing but MEMORIES. Kill nothing but TIME. Leave nothing but FOOTPRINTS.Take something but PICTURES. "

"Be prepared to be amazed, expect the unexpected" - Mr.Avito's line

Entering on this cave on your own is a BIG NO NO, based on Mr. Avito it is locked with latin prayers so no one can just easily go inside there without him(good to know ).

Cave history

Because of his passion and dedication on things maybe that's why he is the chosen one to discover such "gem" like this cave.                

Do's and Don'ts

Please do respect this Do's and Don't, don't be such "pasaway" disobedient, if it's not allowed to touch, DON'T. I know we humans is curious on lots of things, it's like "Adan and Eve's" curiosity about "Tree of the Knowledge of good and evil" fruit.

Entrance to the Cave

It looks tiny hole but you'll get in there fine.  :) Are you nervous now ? (ahaha)    

Human Bones

This is what Mr. Avito found inside the cave. (I apologize for the not so sharp image flash is not allowed he said upon entering the cave)

Camotes Island is one of a few islands that you might plan to visit. The island is located east of Cebu. Travelling to this island is pretty exciting for me because I always love to travel or when I can I guess. I can be your little sweet explorer while your reading this, but don't expect me to bring you somewhere that is not on my topic( hahaha ). But, let's move on, I'll discuss on my next blog how to get there, for now I'll discuss places I have visited. It would'nt be a lot of places that you can see on this post but for me my trip there was worth it even though its just an overnight trip.

Where I(with friends) stay?
Aliyanarah Lodge  is a reasonable and affordable place if you want to save some money for your vacation. Don't expect too much I hope, you get what you paid for this kind of lodge/hotel. But I am happy with my stay there. Staffs are friendly and accommodating.

It is located in Poblacion, San Francisco Proper which is heart of Camotes. This place is accessible to eatery, Agora Market and Baywalk. So probably you won't starve when you stay there. It is 30 to 45 mins. ride from Consuelo,Camotes Port so my suggestion(if you like) is to rent a motorcycle/scooter. They don't have much public transportation available for people or you may bring your car/s or scooter/motorcycle with you. Advantage of having transportation with you is you can go anywhere you want without a hassle of commuting.

As you can see the road is clean, it is one thing you would love about the place.

Lake Danao Park

Lake Danao Park also known as Lover's Lake it is situated within town of Campo and Union, north of Santiago Bay and Mangodlong, it's a perfect place for family as well as groups and of course for lovers. They have such activities you can do such as : Kayaking, Boat Paddling, Zorb and Horse Back Riding. You can spend your leisure time having a picnic or just simply relax on the shades and with a cool breeze.
