Macahambus Cave, Show cave in Misamis Oriental, Philippines.

Located within Macahambus Forest Nature Reserve, this karst cave extends 57 meters in length, featuring a single passage that leads to the Cagayan River.

The cave gained military importance during the Philippine-American War, becoming the site of the Battle of Macahambus Hill on June 4, 1900.

Local guides share traditional stories about the cave system while leading visitors through passages that house colonies of native bats.

Visitors need to bring personal torches and protective gear, including helmets with headlamps, as the cave requires careful navigation through various sections.

At the cave's terminus, an iron balcony provides views over the Cagayan River, while a nearby circular gorge formed by a collapsed river cave.
