Calbiga Caves is a system of 12 caves, covering an area of 2,968 hectare. This is probably the largest cave in Southeast Asia, and most of it is still unexplored. The main cave is called Langun and is visited on spelunking trips. The main chamber is so huge, three football fields would easily fit in.
The caves are famous for speleothems and a wide variety of cave life. There are numerous endangered species of bats living in the cave. True troglobionts are cave crickets and eyeless fish.
