The caves of Bathala are eight different caves, named Church, Secret, Python, Cemetery, Lihim, Underground, River and Kay Mendez. They are located in a 19 hectares big area, located about 700m asl. The small karst contains even more caves, but they are not explored or named.
The biggest cave is called Kuweba ng Simbahan (Cave of the Church), as it was used for worship. It was believed to be the home of Amang Bathala, the Supreme God of the Tagalogs, the indegneous inhabitants of the Philippines. The cave is big enough for 100 people.
