Be Impressed of Underground River

By -
It was never been so hard to travel alone. It sounds funny, but 9 of my friends did not come. We were supposed to be 10 on this trip, but only I pushed through. Moving on, I still had fun though.

Puerto Princesa, Palawan has so much to offer when in terms of tourist spots and tours. The tourism is really exceptional and they are really good. The airport is easy to access from the main road. I even just walked from the airport to the hotel where I stayed.
There are many hotels or accommodations that you can easily choose that is really affordable just near at the airport. Most of the hotels are offering/partnered from any tour and travels, which will help you to be more convenient in roaming around the Puerto Princesa.
If you are into online booking for your hotel, you can check through Agoda or Travelbook. These are the websites that I mostly used every time I travel. Travelbook has discounts and lesser value than in walking-in. They also have payment option to pay at the hotel.
There are lots to do during your visit in Puerto Princesa. You can even DIY(Do it yourself) if you want to tour the city, but for me, I did pay 500 for the City tour that includes the Van and snacks for less hassle.
You will be fetched from your hotel and taken on a half day sightseeing of Puerto Princesa. This sightseeing tour aims to show you within a few hours the main landmarks of the Puerto Princesa city.
Puerto Princesa is the capital of Palawan province and serves as the main gateway to visitors that are on their way to visit Underground River, El Nido and San Vicente.
This tour will take you along a route passing the City Hall, the Immaculate Conception Cathedral, the Boulevard, the Eulalia Park and the Plaza Cuartel, a restored ruin of a Japanese military base built during the World War II.
The tour continues to Palawan Wildlife Rescue and Conservation Center (formerly known as Crocodile Farm), where you can see the captivating reptiles, ranging from babies to full-grown giants.
Apart from crocodiles, the center takes care of other animals, some of them endemic to Palawan Island. After the Crocodile Farm, you will be taken to Mitra’s Ranch for a panoramic view of Puerto Princesa and Baker’s Hill where you can enjoy the beautiful garden landscape and taste local delicacies. Last stop will be at the Plaza Cuartel.
After the tour, you will be transferred back to your hotel.













On the next day, I decided to have the Underground river tour that cost me PHP 1,100 only because I was able to negotiate to lower down the price. It is already included the Van and buffet for lunch and a tourist guide. Since I was alone, I was able to meet new friends because the capacity of the van is 10 people.





















It was a journey that very memorable even if you are all alone.

The Forest Camp is located 11.5 Kilometers (6 Miles) of paved road west of Dumaguete City. 20 minutes is all it takes to reach paradise; away from the noise and pollution of city life. The resort is 2.5 Hectares of nature at its best, a valley under a canopy of tropical, indigenous forest trees. It has a river passing through its landscape with cascading sound blending perfectly with the welcoming songs of birds and applause of leaves. Enhancing the scenery is its constantly cool ambiance being 800 feet above sea level. Indeed it is one of the main attractions of Valencia, Negros Oriental. Sticking to its natural beauty concept, it has 9 cold spring swimming pools designed to appear like natural lagoons formed by the river.
