After our Paterno Cave adventure, we walked a few meters for our next cave - Bengaongao Cave. Before we got there, we had to walk down around 700 steps. There is a diversion at the end of the stairs. Taking the right path leads to the river where we ate our lunch. The left path leads to the Bengaongao Cave.
Since we were all tired from the crawling, climbing and walking inside Paterno Cave, we decided to take our lunch at the river bed. This is yet another memorable experience especially for the kids who seldom experience eating in such a lovely place.

After satisfying our tummy, we then headed to Bengangao Cave. The entrance was as big as the entrance of Sumaguig cave in Sagada. We were told by the guide that not everyone who visited Ambongdolan was able to visit this cave since this cave easily gets flooded because of the river water that passes through it. We were lucky it was not raining... yet.
Upon entering the cave, we immidiately noticed this formation. It was called the mushroom. It was really nice.

Getting inside the cave was more challenging since the floor is a bit slippery and there's no rope to hold to. So making a small mistake is not acceptable.

After the great challenge, we were greeted by this formation. It was called the heart of the cave. It was so beautiful that the challenge of seeing it was all worth it.
After seeing the heart of the cave, we had to climb down but we did not take the same route. The guides then had to prepare the ropes since we had to rapel in some instances to get ourselves down.

This adventure was really awesome! It was a day well spent. It was a great bonding with the family and relatives. And best of all, it was a great Mother's Day treat to all the mothers who were with us.
