Details About Puerto Princesa

Destinations » Asia » Southeast Asia » Puerto Princesa


Legend attributes the name “Puerto Princesa” to a princess-like maiden who in the early days is said to have roamed around the place on certain nights of the year. On the other hand, practical people attribute the name to the geographical advantages of the place as a seaport - naturally protected the whole year round and endowed with a depth that can accommodate any size of shipping – a royal heaven for vessels or a virtual princess of ports as thus indicated by Spanish Colonizers on the country’s map.

Attractions

  • Puerto Princesa Subterranean River National Park - A must-see for first time visitors and tourists in Palawan. The longest and reputedly the most beautiful subterranean river in the world.
  • Just a few minutes north of the city proper, hop onto a boat and go island hopping at Honda Bay located in the mid-eastern coast of the city. Take your pick from dozens of white sand beaches.
