Palawan, hailed and heralded as the last biodiversity
frontier of the Philippines, has always been one of the best summer
destinations in the country.
While considered as one of the country's best tourist
destinations, it is also a complex ecosystem that serves as home to diverse
marine life and to hundreds of indigenous species of flora and fauna. More
importantly, it hosts the Underground River in Puerto Princesa which is perhaps
considered the crown jewel in Puerto Princesa's rich collection of natural attractions.
The Puerto Princesa Underground River is one of the world's longest navigable
rivers and is listed as one of the New Seven Wonders of Nature today. Located
at the western side of the Saint Paul Mountain Range, the Puerto Princesa
Subterranean River National Park is one of Palawan's must-see attractions that
you should never miss. Apart from being a surreal and breathtaking experience,
a visit to the subterranean river is also an opportunity to commune with
nature. It is perfect for individuals with a penchant for adventure and
intrepid thrill seekers looking to experience something new.
