The moment we set foot on Puerto Princesa for a well deserved break, my wife and I know that this is the place we want to live. The weather is perfect, the air is clear and the people seems friendly. We stayed for four days and three nights in this island strip of paradise and have learned so much for this place rich in culture, heritage, natural resources, biodiversity. Palawan is home to the world's longest underground river, a contender to the new seven wonders of the world. Home to two UNESCO world heritage sites.
