Palawan: A Place Like No Other
Palawan is an extraordinary archipelagic province in the province. I am from the Philippines and this is the first place I’d go to if I have enough budget for traveling.
What makes this place magical?
There are many places to discover in Palawan. It’s like a world separate from the true situation of the country.
Palawan is home to nature reserves and conservation areas on both land and water, as well as marine gardens of enormous clams, sea turtle nesting beaches with white sand, hundreds of kinds of butterflies, and a beautiful palm forest.
Now, let me show you the outstanding places that you don’t want to miss when going to Palawan.
- Underground River
It is the world's second-longest subterranean river, yet only a fraction of it is available to the general public. They have been conserving this place for decades. It is also considered as one of the 7 Wonder Natures of the World!
There’s a daily number limit for the people who are allowed to go inside the cave so if you really want to go there, you need to book ahead with your travel agency. Many people from all over the world are urging to visit the place so make sure to take your spot. You’ll be amazed with all the stalagmites and stalactites you will inside.
- Be ready to island hop!
Palawan consists of many islands and if you’re that of an adventurer, get ready to hop from one island to another. You can visit Coron, Puerto Princesa, and El Nido. You will surely see unending touch of nature, greens and blues. I even wonder if there’s a person who won’t be stunned by this paradise.
Fun activities to do:
- Snorkeling: There are many spots perfect for this activity like Black Island, Dimakya Island, Smith Coral Garden, Dimalanta Island, and many more!

I guess you’ll need to keep your eyes wide open for animals, such as monkeys hanging from tree to tree or tarsiers darting across the forest floor, among other things. The ecosystem in Palawan is well maintained and civilization is untouched. If you’re going here, make sure to pay respect to the sanctuary and to the culture implanted to the place.
