Bucas Grande, Socorro Island- situated in the eastern part
of Surigao del Norte and Southern part of Siargao Island, approximately 2 hours away from General Luna (the place where
annual surfing festival takes place.) Socorro is 1 hour pump boat travel from
HAVODA Terminal, Hayanggabon, Claver, Surigao del Norte. Furthermore, it is prevalently known for
its Sohoton Cave.
Another piece of history is being listed in my journey. This is honestly my first time in seeing and holding a real
and alive jelly fish. I was apprehensive at first because I didn’t believe that
it’s stingless. But I still got a nerve to hold it with all my senses for the
sake of memorabilia. FYI, jellyfishes are really sensitive, thus, no one is allowed to swim with them.
After our meet and greet with the jellyfishes, we moved to our next itinerary which is caving. We have seen the horseshoe-shape rock formation along the way. We are also feeding our eyes with the lavishness of isolated green undisturbed forests while inhaling the extraordinary freshness of air as we hopped from one island to another.

Knees trembling, hands are cold and hair ruffled…I’ve surprisingly
defeated my acrophobia by virtue of no choice. We have explored one cave tourist
destination where you need to jump into the water for memorable exit
compliance. But then again, life is a matter of choice and with this
experience, you have a choice; either you waste your time and go back to its
proper entrance with no one to guide you or just bravely jump about 15 feet
above water level for you to move on to your next destination. Which is which??
I bet you’ll jump.
Bolitas Cave, if your physique is beyond the normal size, I
suggest don’t bother going to this cave. The entrance which also happens to be
the exit is too small that everyone is required to crawl just to reach its dead
end just to have a short glimpse of those marble-shape stones (locally known as bolitas). Getting there is not easy, but it is worthy! The cave is
really unique. Stalactites look like pointed boobies while stalagmites' formations are quite similar to man’s private organ. Hahaha
Green is a nice theme color for adventure…
ReplyDeleteT_T I wish I can experience such an exquisite adventure with a budget you mentioned.
