Aside from the Louvre, which is my greatest dream place I wish I could visit someday, there’s this place that I’ve
recently discovered that really amazed me. One place that can be found only here in the Philippines. This haven I’m talking about is situated in the polar of Palawan, the Puerto Princesa Subterranean River National Park. You will be awed when you see the limestone karst mountain landscape with a dragging navigable underground river. Noted for its river that winds through the cave before flowing directly into the South China Sea. What I really wanted to see are the dazzling formations of stalactites and stalagmites, and several large chambers. Based on my research, the lower portion of the river is subject to tidal influences. Its underground river is reputed to be the worlds longest. At the mouth of the cave, a clear lagoon is framed by ancient trees growing right to the water’s edge. Monkeys, large monitor lizards, and squirrels find their niche on the beach near the cave.
I wish that someday I can fulfill my dream and visit this spectacular creation of God and explore the wonders of Puerto Princesa Subterranean River National Park.
