A lookout of the bird island Beach. It is said that it is a sacred place for the birds and people are not allowed to get to the "island" The reason why there are so many birds there is that because its food is believed to be living amongst them.
Hiking down the muddy trail to the caves...
The dense jungle vines are thriving all over the place.
Different arrays of flora welcome us among the pathways...
Little yellow butterflies, which our instructor claims to have only been born a few hours ago, flutter around the area, only to die within 12 more hours. Interestingly, these yellow butterflies are the exact same color of the flowers, providing yet another example of camouflage and a way to protect itself from predators.
The ground was loamy and perfectly porous at the same time, setting the perfect conditions for plants to grow in the wild.
The pathway has several manure droppings on it averaging a size of about 1.5ft, and interestingly, it had several holes in it that housed different kinds of bugs.
The intersection between Kalabera Cave and the pathway to Mermaid Cave.
Entering the Kalabera Cave...
Stalagmites grow withing the walls of the cave.
At a very musty environment, it was surprising not to have spot or heard any wildlife inside the cave, even some bats.
Deep roots and vines grow into the cave to harvest the water that has been collected deep in the bottom of the rocks.
