Hoyop-Hoyopan Cave, Camalig, Albay

HOYOP-HOYOPAN CAVE A natural tunnel-like structure in Camalig, Albay. Legend says that this cave was the primitive habitat of the natives in the area. It is one of the most popular attractions in Albay. It could be reached by any type of motor vehicles.









Hoyop-Hoyopan Caves - about 15-km from Legazpi, the name means "blow-blow" in the local dialect from the sound of the wind whistling through the main entrance. Archeological artifacts dating from 50 B.C. were excavated by a Franciscan priest and are now housed at the National Museum in Manila and nearby Camalig Church.
