The Palawan subterranean river also known as the underground river is one of the favorite attraction spots of the island. Because of it's rich biodiversity, it is also known as major national park. This nature wonder is located about 5 miles north of Puerto prinsesa along the Saint Paul mountain range on the western coast. This famous paradise is highly protected by the Department of Environment and National Resources of Puerto prinsesa since 1992 from pollution and bad tourism.
Because of it's popularity, it was nominated and declared as one of the seven wonders of nature on July 29, 2011 along with Amazon rain forest of South America, Halong bay of vietnam, Brazil's Iquacu falls, Komodo island national park of Indonesia and Table mountain of South Africa.
Since it is one of the favorite tourist destinations, travel to Palawan won't be complete without exploring the wonders of the subterranean river.

A canoe tour into the cave is about 40 minutes. The length of the underground river is about 76 kilometers and tourists are only allowed to explore only up to 1.5 kilometers because the rest part of it is reserved for scientific exploration and research. Though the tour is only up to 1.5 kilometers of the subterranean river, you will be amazed by the pristine and rare beauty of the gold-colored stalagmites and stalactites and the limestone karst natural landscape.
We all enjoyed exploring the hidden wonders of the of the underground river and our experience there was truly an unforgettable adventure. No doubt that it earned the title of one of the seven wonders of nature. Exploring the great Palawan subterranean river may be quite expensive but I can really tell "its worth it." Truly a great wonder and mother nature's work of art.
