TABON CAVE :
CRADLE OF PHILIPPINE CIVILIZATION?
Known as the "Cradle of Philippine
Civilization", Tabon Caves consist of a series of chambers
where a team of anthropologists led by Dr. Robert Fox discovered the remains of crude man and his tools.
Anthropological significance came to the fore with the discovery of the remains of the 22,000 year old Tabon Man
in one of its interiors, along with other artifacts decades ago.

The caves are located in Lipuua Point, Quezon, Palawan. About 155 kilometers south of Puerto
Princesa City, the place can
be reached by taking a bus or jeepney ride from the provincial capital to Quezon. It is followed by a pumpboat ride from Quezon
wharf to the caves. Travel time is 3-4 hours by bus or jeepney to Quezon and 20-30 minutes’ boat ride from Quezon pier
to the caves.
