A map will show you that the Philippines has some interesting geography, and an encyclopedia will tell you there’s over 7,000 islands. But your favorite cruise line will tell you that Puerto Princesa, on the big island of Palawan is an amazing place to visit! The choice is yours: will you enjoy picturesque nature or do some urban exploration? We suggest both, as you see how the quarter-million residents of the province capital live their life. The nature scene is one of mountains, rainforests, beaches and waterfalls… and that’s just above the water! Meet the marine life down below, or the kind that flutters in the sky at Palawan Butterfly Ecological Garden, or go full-on cave explorer at Puerto Princesa Subterranean River National Park. But don’t miss manmade highlights like Immaculate Conception Cathedral and great restaurants like Kalui, the city’s most famous.
