Puerto Princesa's Subterranean River

If there's one thing Puerto Princesa has to boast, the Subterranean River definitely tops the list! This is a must if you happen to visit Puerto Princesa in Palawan. It wouldnt be nominated as one of the 7 Wonders of the World for nothing. This is an experience i would never forget.



As we entered inside, stalagmites and stalagtites in all forms and sizes are graciously scattered inside a huge huge watery cave... Fresh water is dripping from top making it a wet and wild journey...



The tour was really fun specially when the boatman cracks up a joke. He said you can always look up just dont open your mouth...This place is also called the Bat-Room, its not because its filled with bats... its because Bat poo is all over...



This one right here is what they call the Holy Family. It looks like the image of Mother Mary, Joseph and baby Jesus. Like the ones you find in belens during christmas. Its amazing coz these things are all naturally made after thousands of years....



Its a 45 minute tour and the view is really amazing. The place is so huge! Its like you can fit a whole building inside. Its really.. awesome i tell you...




This is the forbidden part of the cave. Boatmen just told us that its not allowed to go inside... Even our boatman hasnt been there as well according to him. I wonder whats in there?



As we go out of the cave., i was deeply amazed with the cave's natural beauty. I wish every Filipino could visit this place. Its really breath-taking. Took a photo of this group who are about to come inside the cave. They are all in for a wonderful show!




Good thing we arrived early because people, local and international are there waiting for boats to arrive. I wouldnt blame them coz this place is really wonderful.




Those huge stones that canopies this bountiful amount of water is really something. Made a natural framing here. :) Wonderful site to see.



As we stepped on the ground, one of the boatmen is holding a bird. The bird is really weak and i think its really bummed out. Along with the bats, these birds also lives inside the cave. They'r like swallows or swifts... the shape of their wings makes them very agile in flight...
