Kalabera

Kalabera is a small village on the northern side of Saipan in the Northern Mariana Islands.

Kalabera is best known for a large cave[1], that is a common tourist stop. The entry room stands close to 60 feet high, and drops off to a seemingly bottomless series of tributaries.[2] Kalabera is associated with many colonial stories, including being used as a prison for Chamorros during Spain's colonial period[3] and a reputed officers "recreation club" during the Japanese military occupation.[4]
