The Santa
Victoria Caves are more than 12 Philippine limestone
caves that are found in the foothills of the Sierra Madre Mountain Range. The caves are known for their
beautiful and unusual rock formations, their sparkling rocks, and their
subterranean waterfalls. They are also of archaeological significance as they
are believed to have been occupied by the nomadic Agta or Dumagat people in the
past. The caves are located within the Isabela Sanctuary, which is part of the
Fuyot Springs National Park (FSNP) in Ilagan, Isabela. This area is included in
the Palanan Wilderness Area or Northern Sierra Madre National Park in the
province of Isabela in Cagayan Valley.
The Sta.
Victoria Caves may be found together with a wildlife
sanctuary, botanical garden, and waterfalls in the 200-hectare Isabela
Sanctuary, which forms about a quarter of the 819-hectare FSNP in Fuyot, Santa
Victoria. This area is located in the eastern part of
Ilagan in Isabela, Cagayan Valley. Part of the municipality of Ilagan, the caves
are just 15 kilometers away from the town proper of Ilagan and 19 kilometers
away from the town of Tumauini.
The 2
distinctive geological features that the Sta. Victoria
Caves are known for are their sparkling rocks can be found in the Sta.
Victoria Caves. In addition, the caves are their
naturally-formed lattices. Underground waterfalls can also be found in the Sta.
Victoria Caves. – wikipilipinas.org
