Puerto Princesa, Philippines


Founded as a Spanish naval hub in 1872, Puerto Princesa is developing a new identity as the ecotourism center of the Philippines. Marvel at the sights of the popular underground river, located in a nearby national park, or go zip-lining at Ugong Rock. In town, learn about the Palawan massacre of Allied soldiers during World War II, and then reflect at the Immaculate Conception Cathedral.
