From the outside, Cudugnon Cave may not seem like much, but from the inside you’ll get blown away by how all this marvelous sight can exist through a tiny hole. Give yourself the time to do a self-check-in and embrace your inner stillness when you visit the Cudugnon Cave—you’ll be able to experience that there’s a lot more than white sandy beaches and glistening blue waters in El Nido, Palawan.
