Visit the church in Daraga with rich history.

Get instagrammable photos from this famous tourist spot in Legazpi with years of rich history. Featuring a church which is almost buried from the ashes of previous eruptions.

Hoyop-Hoyopan cave is one of Albay’s famous attractions because of its historic legacy. For one, it has been around for a long time at about 3,000 B.C. to 4,000 B.C. The 280 square meter-cave was called Hoyop-hoyopan, a Bicolano term for “blow of the wind.” This huge and windy cave is filled with various shapes of rock formations, where you can use your imagination to formulate different figures inside the cave.

The cave has stood strong amidst all calamities that hit the town, making people consider it as a safe spot and using it as a make-shift evacuation center for the townspeople. Before that, it has become a refugee camp by Filipinos during the Japanese occupation in World War II as it was used as a hospital and orphanage at that time.
