are the only sounds you hear.

This park features a spectacular limestone karst landscape with an

underground river. One of the river's distinguishing features is that it
emerges directly into the sea, and its lower portion is subject to tidal
influences. The area also represents a significant habitat for biodiversity
conservation. The site contains a full 'mountain-to-sea' ecosystem and has
some of the most important forests in Asia.

Nacpan Beach in El Nido, Palawan is one of the most popular and most
beautiful beaches in the Philippines. While it does not have the white

island experience.
From the 4-kilometer stretch of cream-colored sand, hundreds of swaying
coconut trees, a fishing village, clear aqua water with small surfable
waves—it’s the kind of paradise you’ve imagined. Nacpan Beach certainly
does not disappoint.

Sitio Honda Bay was erected on these mine tailings.
