Located in the midst of rolling hills and verdant forest, the caves boast of peculiar characteristics of their own such as an underground spring and well-preserved stalagmites and stalactites.

Fires set the countryside ablaze, destroyed vast tracts of verdant forests and threatened the thousands of locals and tourists.

As well as sweeping beaches, there are verdant forests, home to monkeys in the canopy, stunning waterfalls and geothermal springs.

The verdant forests are a popular spot for picnicking, trekking and bird-watching.
