Revisiting the Underground River after nearly 10 years
Yes, it's been almost ten years since I've first been to Palawan's famed Underground River . Now it's officially been named one of the New 7 Wonders of Nature , so I thought it was high time to revisit the place. Besides, My Bibe has never been there before. The Underground River is part of the 22,202-hectare Puerto Princesa Subterranean River National Park (PPSRNP). It also is a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1999. Once in Puerto Princesa City, it's an approximately two-hour drive to the village of Sabang , the jump-off to the river. Though 50km away from the city proper, Sabang is still part of Puerto Princesa. Thankfully the zigzagging road is now mostly concrete with just a few rough patches.
