Introduction

The Mystery Cave is a cavern set in the limestone hills around Antipolo, Rizal province, Philippines, tucked into the Sierra Madre foothills east of Metro Manila — a rare pristine karst hideaway near the capital. Inside, stalactites, stalagmites and an underground stream interlace; visitors explore by torchlight with a local guide, feeling the rock walls sculpted by millennia of water in the dark. Outside lie rainforest and streams, easily combined with nearby waterfalls and hiking trails for a day in nature. For Manileños it is a weekend escape from the city to karst scenery and cool valleys, and it carries local folk tales of caves and guardian spirits.
