Cabagnow Cave Pool is located in Brgy. Bacong, Anda, Bohol and has been going viral since before the pandemic. It looks like every bit of a picturesque location you would think is CGI, but is not. The so-called cave is a hole in the ground filled with water that is 10-18 feet deep. The water is so clean and clear that it shimmers under the sunlight.
Not for the faint of heart, this thrill-seeking cave challenges the bravest of the brave to have the time of their lives jumping and swimming in the natural pool. With a color like blue gatorade, some visitors are even fooled into almost drinking it.
Once you’re at the water, you get to see the entire cave in its glory. With hanging stalagmites on the ceiling, you can just float away inside the cave and marvel at the different rock formations. When you’re in Bohol, make sure to spend a day in the province of Anda and look at their famous hole!
