TURQUOISE COAST
Puerto-Princesa Subterranean River National Park
Palawan is the largest island of the province of Palawan in the Philippines and the fifth-largest island of the country. It features a UNESCO World Heritage Site and is one of the New7Wonders of the World.
This park features a spectacular limestone karst landscape with an underground river. One of the river's distinguishing features is that it emerges directly into the sea, and its lower portion is subject to tidal influences. The area also represents a significant habitat for biodiversity conservation. The site contains a full 'mountain-to-sea' ecosystem and has some of the most important forests in Asia.
Other formations take the shape of jellyfish, dinosaurs, an umbrella, a man's head, and a ship. The Underground River also has large chambers, including the 360-meter-long Italian's Chamber with approximate 2.5 million square meters volume. This is considered as one of the largest cave rooms in the world.
Fun fact!
Palawan is long and narrow and trends northeast-southwest between the South China and Sulu seas.
