PALAWAN SUBTERRANEAN RIVER
April 14th 2009 23:00
Of all the beautiful places in the Philippines that were initially ranked at the top of the search for the New 7 Wonders of the world (officials were encouraging the voters to support just one for every country), the underground river in Pueto Princesa, Palawan emerged as the only contender from the Philippines.
The underground river is 8.2 kms long. It starts from a lagoon, snakes thru a cave and ends
at the South China Sea.
Last time I checked, it is at the top spot of the Group E list of the search.
I've not been there yet, personally. I was hoping to navigate thru it before I write about it but it looks like it won't be in my itinerary for quite sometime. So, I asked a relative who just came back from a tour of Palawan to share some pictures with us.
Here are some of what they saw inside the cave/underground river.
Hope you like them!
