From a distance, the 200ft. high grayish black rock cliff of the mountain that hosts these caves offers spectacular sight for tourists.  Exotic orchids and other plants fill the air with adorable fragrance especially during summer.  Wild animals and birds can also be found in the area.

These caves are revered for their cultural and historical significance.  These have been used as burial sites of pre-Spanish inhabitants.  One of the greatest battles in the province against Spanish soldiers took place in one of its caves, the Balisong Cave.  Juan Arce, Capiz greatest revolutionario died during this battle.
