The Calbiga Cave, the Philippines biggest karst formation and at 2970 hectares, one of the largest in Asia, is an adventurer playground. It was only first systematically explored in 1987 by an eight-person team of Italian speleologists, and the main cave, Langun, has a chamber the size of three football fields. All these attraction are between one and two hours drive, plus between 1 hour and 1 hour 30 minutes walk, from the Calbiga proper.

CAECOGOBIUS CRYPTOPHTALMUS

First hipogean fish found in the Philippines, and first gobinee known in the world, discovered in the karst of Calbiga,Samar, in 1987 by the italian speleologist. The name originates from the total absence of any external traces of eye. The presence of some pigmentation, thin and tiny scale, and deeply embedded eye indicate that the adaptive process to the cave habitat is still underway. Length is about 7 centimeters
