Francisco Dagohoy Cave is named after the Boholano patriot Francisco Dagohoy, who led a rebellion against Spain in the first half of the 18th century. The cave was his headquarters and hideout. Local lore has it, that every time Spaniards entered the cave to find him, he dived through an underwater passage to dry land.
This is not the biggest cave of the area, but noted for its beauty and many crystal-studded passages.
Another sight is nearby Dagohoy Marker in Magtangtang, a small barangay (village), which belongs the town Danao. It has been installed by the Philippine Historical Commission to commemorate the victims of the longest rebellion in the history of the Philippines. Hundreds of Dagohoy's followers preferred death inside the cave than surrender. Their skeletons still remain.
