Cave Connection SAGADA

Well here goes my adventurer's side again. Spelunking in Cave connection of Lumiang and Sumaguing cave is my first spelunking experience. Not bad right. I'm 20 years old and in my 4th year college that time by the way. We experience it with my professor and classmates. My professor loves bringing as to many places and most of it can give heart attacks to those less adventurous people.hahaha. What a wonderful professor I have O.O.

We start our adventure by taking a short trek going to the opening cave where the burial sites can be seen

This trek going to the cave is only a little walk compared to what's ahead.

 Pictorial is a must before entering the cave with my group.

 The cave is in my grasp! So excited! (^_^)

.
Were in a cemetery like opening of a cave ooooohhhh. (O.O) I hope there's no ghost in there specially with the darkness and all.

Before the start of our spelunking our would be guides started lighting their lamps. Lamps would be our only source of light inside the cave.
 

Yes everyone that's where our entrance to the cave. I thought our guide is joking but unfortunately his serious. We're seriously getting in the cave using that hole. I'm glad I'm sexy hehehe ^_^.
***My Advice for those who want to experience this too***
Spelunking in that cave is no joke but definitely worth it. I think I prayed thousands of times inside that cave because of how life treatening most of our path there. That totally helps me find my courage inside the cage. So lets not forget to pray when were there prayers definitely help. If you're planning to try getting in this cave you should first try throwing all your phobias like claustrophobia, Acrophobia or any kind of phobias because phobias is not welcome in this cave if you want to survive this. Trust in your guide they will help you throughout the whole experience. Know your left and right foot. Why? because your guide will always tell you what foot to use in landing a certain stone or stalagmites. Remember some stones are very slippery so watch your steps. Tripping there is also a definite NO because you never know where you will land there like a 'cliff' maybe. For those of you who is not a good swimmer you should always take in mind that there is a part where you should hold on to the stalagmites because it is kinda deep. Don't wonder on your own and always stay present beside your guide.
Inside the cave when you entered it keep in mind that there's no turning back.
*** End of scaring the hell out of you***

It turns out that flexibility is also a requirement in surviving this cave. How fun for my bones specially my butt. I used my butt all the way there. Our guide call it the butt technique but I call it 'slowly but surely' for those who don't want to slip that technique is a must.


 Although experiencing spelunking inside the cave is hard It is still worth it because of the formations of stalagmites and stalactites that you will find there. 

 o.O What formation can you imagine with this? (^_^)

 Our guide said this is a frog. Well his right because I can see his snout, external naris, browspot and dorsal part with its hump. That is one sexy frog there! I'm itching to dissect it! I'm a biologist thru and thru even inside of a cave.

Our guide is also our photographer. That's why we take many photographs there. Thanks SAGGAS!
I think SAGGAS is the association of guides in Sagada and they are very professional in what they do.
The next time that I spelunk I want to try the crystal cave of Sagada. The crystal cave is a harder but more beautiful cave in Sagada and It's on the list of adventures that I want to go.
