Palawan, a narrow archipelago of more than 1,780 islands and islets on the western border of the Philippines, is a vast reserve of natural beauty and zoological wonders, a stunning haven of flora and fauna. As far back as the 9th century, Chinese traders already had a fitting name for it – Pa-lao-yu, meaning “land of beautiful, safe harbor.”
Palawan is accessible within an hour’s flight from Manila or Cebu to Puerto Princesa City. Philippine Airlines (PAL), Cebu Pacific, Sea Air, Asian Spirit and Air Philippines service the province of Palawan. There are ferry companies that also provide sea transportation for tourists who are on budget; Negros Navigation and Superferry take a trip regularly, once a week.
Puerto Princesa is active in the list of favorite destinations by nature lovers and researchers. It has become a cubbyhole for foreign and domestic tourists who desire to commune with nature, and seek comfort from the busy life in urban cities.
The Puerto Princesa Underground River, Honda Bay, the Crocodile Farm, the Iwahig Prison and Penal Farm, the Mitra’s Ranch, the Palawan Wildlife Rescue and Conservation Center Crocodile Farm and Nature Park, the Palawan Butterfly Garden, Dolphin Watching outside Puerto Princesa Bay, the Vietnamese Village, the City Museum topped the list of the places most tourists visited while on holidays and much-needed break.
The Puerto Princesa Subterranean River National Park (PPSRNP) also known as Puerto Princesa Underground River is one of the most biologically diverse conservation areas of the Philippines. It was established primarily to protect the outstanding natural properties. It features spectacular limestone formations, lush old growth tropical forest, interesting wildlife, pristine white sand beaches and one of the most impressive cave systems in the world. The PPSRNP is designated a core area for the Palawan Biosphere Reserve. In recognition of its globally significant natural properties, it was inscribed to the List of World Heritage Sites. The main focus of the PPSRNP is an 8.2 km long underground river that is navigable up to 4.3 km. It is reputed to be the longest navigable underground river in the World.
Palawan is known for its high-end resorts that cater to international celebrities and the extremely wealthy. One of these resorts is the Sheridan Beach Resort and Convention Center, which is only 20 minutes away from the world famous Underground River.
