Wow Philippines Series: St. Paul Subterranean River National Park

All week long, we wished (with our fingers crossed) for the sun to shine for us to be able to go to the Underground River and other tourist spots in Palawan. And it did, in our last day! So we spent our whole day going to as many places as we could.

First stop for the day is the St. Paul Subterranean River National Park.

Wonderful sceneries on our way...Puerto Princesa Subterranean River National Park was declared by Proclamation No. 835 on March 26, 1971. It is located in the West Coast of Palawan, 81 km north of Puerto Princesa City. Picture, picture...This cave is a UNESCO protected "World Heritage Site."It is the longest navigable underground river in the world which features cathedral-like caverns and domes. The stalactites and stalagmites formation resembles like religious images, fruits and birds.
Look very closely. This rock formation resembles the half face of Jesus Christ. There are other stalactites and stalagmites formation which resemble other religious images like the holy family and an image of the Virgin Mary. A stalagmite formation that resembles a corn.Another stalagmite formation that resembles puso ng saging. There are other formations like that of carrot, onion, bacon, mushroom and many many more kaya lang di ko nakunan ng pictures, hehe.Other stalactite and stalagmite formations inside the cave...
