The Puerto Princesa Underground River

The PPUR is definitely a destination one should not miss when in Palawan. Being one of the New 7 Wonders of Nature, it is one of Puerto Princesa’s sources of pride and of course the Philippines as a whole. It is one of the many tourist destinations in the Philippines that revived our country’s tourism.



Our PPUR tour started early given that the Underground River is approximately 2 hours (or more) away from the city. We had a stop-over at a halfway rest area then headed to Sabang Beach for lunch. Sabang is another white beach that Palawan boasts of.



After eating, we made our way to the Underground River park and since there are a lot of tourists, we had to wait in line. Near the river lies a beach front where we stayed to while away the time.



The tour inside the Underground River took about 40 minutes.  The boatman, like an expert, talked about the crystals, stalactites and stalagmites found in the cave. He surely made the 40-minute tour informative but entertaining and never boring.




The pictures above do not do PPUR any justice especially the ones taken inside the Underground River. It is magnificent, it feels like actually seeing God through nature’s wonder.
