intricately incised designs. The caves must have been burial sites of pre-Spanish Filipinos. The Balisong Cave where the Capiz revolucionarios routed Spanish
soldiers is also found hereabouts.

QUIPOT CAVE consists of many chambers, each at a level different from other
chambers. In certain sections, space between the roof and cave floor is just
two or three feet. There are also sections that seem like a dead end, except for
small openings through which only one person can crawl. These holes lead to a chamber as big as a hotel ballroom, which is
why it is dubbed as the “Quipot Hilton”. . The cave is cool inside.
