El Nido
Another popular eco-spot on Palawan is El Nido. Though El Nido is referred to as a “town”, it is made up of 45 islands and islets, resorts, caves, cliffs, a bay and waterfalls. CNN Travel named El Nido beaches as the best in the Philippines and described it as a spectacular nature and diving destination .
Sometimes referred to as a “city in the forest”, Puerto Princesa is something of an eco-tourism hub. The Philippines’ “cleanest and greenest city” boasts many beaches and resorts, but its 8km underground river (St. Paul), one of the New7Wonders of Nature, is what makes it truly unique.
The subterranean waterway is home to stunning caverns, waterfalls and a 300 meter (1,000 ft) cave dome. The surrounding park (a UNESCO World Heritage Site) also features a landscape of limestone karsts and a mountain-to-sea ecosystem containing 8 different tropical forest types.
