Bulabog Puti-an National Park is a protected rain forest area known for being a living museum of flora and fauna. Hundreds of local and foreign tourists visit the 847 eco-tourism park to immerse in the area’s natural attractions such as its various forms of wildlife and more than 30 caves.
The caves of Bulabog Putian National Park is an important historical, paleontological, archeological site since it was used as a hideout by the revolutionary forces in Iloilo during the Spanish occupational period. Many of the caves’ walls still has text inscribed by the war heroes of the past. One of these text reads: “Los Republicanos Juran Morir Antes Que Entregarse,” or The Republicans Swear To die Before Surrendering.
The trail to the caves is ladden with limestone rocks, the same material used for the construction of the century-old Dingle Church. If you’re planning to visit, better wear sturdy rubber shoes to make your trek easier.

Bulabog Putian National Park is more frequently visited during the summer time especially the holy week. Visitors would bathe in the mountain spring resort or explore the park’s vast area.
Bulabog Putian National Park spans parts of Dingle and San Enrique. To get to the park from Iloilo City, ride a “Dingle” jeepney in Tagbak Terminal, Jaro. Once in the town proper, you can hire a tricycle, which will take you to the park’s receiving area. The entrance fee in Bulabog Putian National Park for locals is P8 and P80 for foreigners. There are tour guides available for P180.

Good afternoon, just a few questions regarding the jeepney ride from the city to Dingle. How much does this cost? And how much is the tricycle ride from town proper to the national park? I would like to publish these rates in an article I’m writing for the inflight magazine of Cebu Pacific. Also, could I possibly use some of your photos?
Hoping for your reply,
Marie
Sayang hindi ako nakapagpunta dyan ngan pumunta kami sa Dingle. by the way pista dyan ngayon sa isang Barangay.
i’m sure this holy week this park will be very much alive! nice to think of my past experience in this park especially holy week……kadto kamo!
Bulabog Putian is something Ilonggos should be proud of. It is such a marvelous place to visit, spend time with friends and family most especially for nature fanatics. It is roughly a several kilometer walk; however, every step is probably worth it.
You may also ask for the help of forest rangers in exploring the place.
Check it out and enjoy.
