The beauty of Puerto Princesa

The Western Philippines’ Palawan Island has the seaside city of Puerto Princesa. In the biologically diverse Puerto Princesa Subterranean River National Park, it serves as a starting point for boat tours into the enormous limestone caverns and subterranean river. Several dive spots are located around Puerto Princesa Bay, which is inhabited by long-nosed dolphins, turtles, and rays. The 19th-century Immaculate Concepcion Cathedral is located close to the harbor.

The Puerto Princesa Subterranean River National Park, often known as the Underground River, is the most well-known attraction in Puerto Princesa, Palawan. It is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the New 7 Wonders of Nature.

The provincial capital of Palawan is Puerto Princesa. It serves as the hub for government services, communication, trade, and business. It divides Palawan into northern and southern halves. It makes up roughly 17 percent of the province’s total land area and is a constituent city. 

The island of Palawan is “every beach lover’s ideal trip” due to its stunning and unspoiled scenery, outstanding diving locations, and reputation for having crystal-clear seas.

The 8.2 km subterranean river features breathtaking limestone cliffs, clear waters, and jaw-dropping cave formations. However, only around 4.3 km of the river may be explored by tourists. Over hundreds of years, the intricate ecosystem of the river has adjusted to the subterranean settings.

The Puerto Princesa Underground River, which is its most well-known feature, is a natural wonder and a national treasure. Its stunning limestone cliffs, azure sea, and towering cave formations will captivate tourists and nature lovers alike.

The feeling of paddling through the dark is unearthly. You only hear the echoing drops of water and the clicking of bats.
