Bantay Abot Cave Pagudpud, Ilocos Norte

Bantay Abot Cave is a natural rock formation and tourist attraction along the shores of Balaoi, Pagudpud, Ilocos Norte.[1]

Despite being called a cave, Bantay Abot means "mountain with a hole".[2] This cave-like rock archway that frames a rocky shore is believed to have been a hill that eroded over time after an earthquake struck.[3]

It faces the South China Sea, and is a few kilometers away from Kabigan Falls and Patapat Viaduct.[2]
