I've been blogging about interesting travel destinations from different parts of the world for some time now, surprisingly there is one place that I haven't mentioned yet... Palawan - a place which belongs to our very own beautiful archipelago!
An anchor tourist destination, Palawan is one of the 7,000 times more islands that make up the Philippine archipelago. The island province of Palawan has been declared as a nature sanctuary of the world, and for good reason.
It is wrapped in a mantel of rainforests, outstanding dive sites, majestic mountains, primeval caves, and pristine beaches. It is surrounded by a coral shelf that abounds with varied and colorful marine life. A diver's paradise, it has miles of sub-surface coral and rainbow reef walls which surround the coasts and coves teeming with rich marine life.
A favorite and popular travel destination in Palawan is the isolated island of El Nido which boasts of incredibly astonishing seascapes. It's scenic landscape, crystal clear waters, and relative isolation attract and fascinate most travelers and visitors. The 45 islands and islets and the surrounding sea present endless opportunities for adventure, nature appreciation, and even just simple pleasures.
The most striking feature of El Nido is its scenic landscape - massive limestone islands of varying shapes and sizes scattered about the sparkling sea. The limestone cliffs of El Nido were naturally carved out of extensive and thick layers of coralline deposits. They formed 250 million years ago in the shallow sea covering the area that North Vietnam and South China now occupy. These layers slowly rose from the sea as a result of the collision of India and mainland China about 60 million years ago.
You can bask in the sun for as long as you want since there are resorts which can afford to give you much longed for privacy and amenities.
