The Municipality of Mabini is the only town in the Western Pangasinan area without a coastline, however, some terrains of vanishing streams, limestone hills, caves, sinkholes and pits of unknown depths are found. This terrain is called karst, coined by cave explorers from a region in Slovenia known to have vast fields of such geological features. Karst fields stretches from the boarders of Barangays Barlo and San Pedro going north towards Barangays De Guzman and Tagudin, and goes north east all the way to Barangay Linmansangan in Alaminos. Beneath these uniformly shaped hills are caves, carved out by Mother Nature over millions of years.
