"The Philippines' natural reserve."

PALAWAN is the Philippines' last natural reserve and is located south northwest of Manila and is bordered in east by Sulu Sea and by the South China Sea on its west. Some of the country's remaining untouched flora and fauna are on Palawan island and a majority of the island's forest remains virgin up to this date save for the areas surrounding the provincial capital, Puerto Princessa.

The island is best for those who would like nature tripping and enjoying the privacy of one's self. The distinct nature traveler should consider Palawan as the first step in being one with Mother Nature thanks to the relative peace and calm of the location perfect for its beaches and resorts. Any traveler will appreciate the natural beauty of the Palawan island and it can be accessed direct from Manila by direct domestic flight or the scenic route by cruise ship who would enjoy waking up to see the soft morning sun drench the vast greenery that dots the island's beaches.

The country's resorts based in Palawan offer some of the most exotic boat rides into the island's interiors where anyone can heave over the natural beauty carved over the centuries. Beach lovers will enjoy the pure white sands of the beach while some exotic animal watchers will enjoy an island dedicated to preserve some of Africa's wildlife on Calauit Island. Divers will also enjoy some of the most exotic diving sites in Palawan where one could choose to visit the natural sites or some of the historically infamous ship wrecks.
