PUERTO PRINCESA SUBTERRANEAN RIVER UNESCO WORLD HERITAGE SITE





After a quite tough 2.5 hour hike over the monkey trail passing along beautiful beaches we reach the underground river and embark on an hour long breathtaking tour in a small boat. The river is reputed to be the world's longest at 8.2 km.
The site contains a full mountain-to-the-sea ecosystem and has some of the most important forests in Asia.
It was inscribed by the UNESCO as a World Heritage Site on December 4, 1999.
