About Palawan
Palawan stretches like a jeweled necklace across the southern Philippines. El Nido's dramatic limestone cliffs rise from emerald waters, creating hidden cove beaches and lagoons accessible only by boat. The Puerto Princesa Underground River winds through a mountain cave cathedral. Coron offers wreck diving, kayaking through limestone passages, and island-hopping adventure. This is the Philippines at its most raw and beautiful.
