Palawan, a Perfect Paradise?

Visiting Palawan offers a mix of tropical beauty and real-world contrasts. In Puerto Princesa, you’ll find a laid-back coastal city with easy access to the famous Underground River and warm local hospitality. Further north, El Nido dazzles with limestone cliffs, turquoise lagoons, and unforgettable island-hopping adventures through hidden beaches and crystal-clear waters. However, its growing popularity means you’ll encounter large numbers of tourists, even outside of peak season, and while the main spots are kept tidy, some areas outside the tourist zones show signs of neglect, with litter and waste reminding visitors of the challenges that come with rapid tourism growth.
