Philippines UNDERGROUND RIVER (Not Palawan) | Best FILIPINO Guides Up North

This isn't the famous underground river in Palawan... It is an amazing underground river in the Marag Valley, Apayao!
I can't believe I had never heard of this place before! WOW! This is such a great adventure you can have while exploring the northern Philippines. A thirty minute trek across a river in Luna Apayao will lead you to the entrance of Manacota Underground river. This place is beautiful, clean, enchanting... and full of natural surprises!
The rock formations and swimming area at the other side of the underground river are AMAZING!
This is definitely one of the best places I have experienced in the Northern Philippines!
APAYAO IS AWESOME!

This Underground River was WAY TO AWESOME. I love how after you go all the way through there is a natural playground waiting for you to explore! Anyone else want to go to Apayao!? :)

[@wittylas]

I'd love to go there someday soon! Haha

[@becztv7746]

The ferns they collected are called PAKO' ..its very yummy..can be made as salad or can be cooked as stir-fry..my fave❤❤❤

[@becztv7746]

Ahaha...love the last part..your tour guides said...AWAN MANEN!...hahaha...

No way man . You are now the champion of the masses. You won the hearts of my fellow filipino.

[@ejnavales7235]

Your content is seriously underrated! Sure you have hundreds of thousands of followers but the experiences you have delving into the local culture sets you apart from any vlogger or travel blogger that has travelled through the Philippines. Just amazing stuff Kulas.

[@LuckyRain0rig]

EJ Navales - SO TRUE! 👍

[@pinacolada111]

What an Awesome group of young people . The whole adventure was Epic ! The greenery was stunning as well as the color of the water . The best cave experience ever ! Thank you so much for sharing this . I’d give any thing to be able to do something like that . 😍😊

[@neonskies4205]

that cave was one of a kind

[@victortag2099]

sandy you should go visit . the guides are good most of them dont ask for payments... most of them are just happy to showcase the beauty of their place.. you give them a tip and they ask what the money is for.

Once again kulas your effort and bravery paid off, thats another great discovery, another unknown paradise!👍👍👏👏

[@alexanderreyulep7143]

man, i fell in love to girl from kabugao, apayao, now we have two girls in our family, a few months ago they went to kabugao for a long vacation, this prompted me to follow them because i miss them so much, i drove an aeroz to kabugao, apayao, in that solo ride made appreciate the beauty of apayao province, i can't believe that you are vlogging your adventures, how i wish to go back with my family. thanks you kulas with the love that you manifest in your videos, for me your a true filipino by heart.

[@jjfonacier]

That was awesome Kyle going through that natural wonder. In the mid 80's Marag Valley was the battleground between the Philippine Army and NPA. There used to be battle tanks stationed in there to combat the so called insurgents. If you mentioned Marag Valley then it was a no man's land because people would immediately think of war in that jungle. All your tour guides weren't born yet then. How good it is to know that you could now peacefully travel to that area and rightfully so to appreciate the raw beauty of the place. Keep on looking for the beautiful experiences through your appreciative eyes. We thank you so much!

[@BecomingFilipino]

The area is wonderful now!

[@jjfonacier]

@@BecomingFilipino I am so glad it is peaceful now. I am from near that area but I haven't been there because of that. Now with your adventure accounts people are heartened to visit the place.

[@shaneajose9259]

That only means that there is hope in the southern parts of mindanao too. That in the future people can walk freely without fear.

And Apayao means river....now we know..😁😁😁 Be safe always Kulas....and Power on!!!!!

[@mistyrivers4995]

This one is my favorite i watched this video three times already, what a piece of heaven for me.

[@robinlrice]

Freaking BEAUTIFUL! Pinas is definitely the place to be. It's jam packed with natural wonders & beauty all across the islands. It's also so peaceful looking there, now that the BHB or Bagong Hukbong Bayan (NPA) is no longer present. It's definitely a place worth preserving! Keep on trekking, my guy! 👍

The great promoter of Philipines Tourism Mr. Kolas.....great adventure extra ordinary from the unexplore remote areas in the Philippines...Apayao a truly nature from its vast rain forest andunderground river

[@lorindawehrly6305]

This guy is smart ! He knows lots of little things about the Filipino culture and dishes like he mentioned ferns called “pako salad”. And when he passed the greenery forest with respect he said, “tabi tabi po” meaning- sorry to disturb we’re just passing, using your pathway. So, smart! And brave.. good luck to you brother😊

[@vomitingconfetti7187]

He was a school teacher in Canada before he got here in the Philippines and started vlogging about 5 years ago if I was not mistaken. He immersed himself with the local community and its culture that's why he knows a lot of our culture and legends. He even learned to speak visaya. He was based in Cagayan de oro for many years before settling in a beachfront property in Cateel in Davao del Norte where he built a house with a longtime Filipino friend Kumar who co owns the beach property. There's another foreign vlogger who is awesome as Kyle, he is a Welsh guy named Anselm or Kumander Daot. Follow both their channels.
