The famous Puerto Princesa underground river, a World Heritage Site…
Puerto Princesa Underground River
The Puerto Princesa Subterranean River National Park, locally known as "the Underground River" is located about 50 kilometers north of the city of Puerto Princesa City, Palawan, Philippines. It was declared by the UNESCO as a World Heritage Site on December 4, 1999. It encompasses a full mountain-to-sea ecosystem.
It features a limestone karst mountain landscape with an 8.2 km. navigable underground river, flowing directly into the South China Sea. It includes major formations of stalactites and stalagmites, and several large chambers. The lower portion of the river is subject to tidal influences. This underground river is the longest in Asia and second only (in length) to the underground river located in Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula.
Incessant dripping of mineralized water for millennia formed these stalactites and stalagmites…reminding us of the work of Nature that no man can duplicate.
