Jovellar Underground River is located in Barangay Quitinday of Jovellar, Albay. It has been steadily increasing national attraction as a tourist site, and is now the main destination of the municipality. Even though this wonder of nature is a must-see, tourists rarely visited this back then because of the occupation of communist insurgents. But now that they are cleared out, Jovellar is a safe place to go to.
You can experience the underground river through riding a balsa that your guide will row for you. Before you decide to visit Jovellar, make sure that the rains of the past days didn’t last for a long time. This will ensure you a fulfilling visit as you will witness the famous teal-colored water of the river.
Jovellar is a rising tourist destination now that has been cared for and improved by the local municipality. Why not give it a shot soon?
