HOW TO GET IN THERE? IF YOU'RE FROM KATIPUNAN...
Top of the mountain
From Katipunan Avenue go straight through Marcos Highway towards Masinag. At the Masinag intersection, head on straight towards Cogeo. At the Cogeo intersection, head straight eastward still for about another 3.5 kms until you see a row of identical apartment buildings (formerly a motel but now the Sta. Eugenia College). Turn right into a wide dirt road at the first corner. About 2 kms onward, after passing through a quarry area, carefully look for a signboard on the left side welcoming you to the site of the Mystical Cave.
