Pilar Caves



Your visit to the Municipality of Pilar won't be complete without visiting the caves in this town. The distance of the cave is about one and a half kilometers form the poblacion via jeepneys, tricycles and cars is the Balisong Cave. Some years ago, the people of this town discovered earthen pots with intricately incised designs the cave must have been a burial site for of pre-Spanish Filipinos. At the Balisong Cave where the Capiz Revolucionarios routed the Spanish soldiers. At the side of the cave is a spectacular sight of a mountain. A greyish black rock rises up to 200 ft. to the sky. Plants, orchids among them hang from the cliffs, blooming in the summer and filling the air with fragrance.

Not far form the Balisong Cave is the Puting Kweba or "White Cave", inside the Puting Kweba is different formations of stalagmites and stalactites. One of it forms like an altar and the other one looks like a gown.
