Palawan Subterranean River Leads 7 Wonders

The Philippines’ Subterranean River National Park in Palawan currently ranks first in the global voting for the New Seven Wonders of Nature competition, under the category forest, natural parks, and nature reserves.

The Subterranean River National Park has been consistently at the top spot as shown in the website of the New 7 Wonders. http://www.new7wonders.com/nature/en/liveranking/

The Park is said to be the world’s longest passable underground river, which measures 8.2 kilometers of winding stretch that passes through a cave with major formations of stalactites and stalagmites.

My family went to Palawan on a vacation. And this beautiful Underground River was in our tour list. We were fortunate to experience this paradise. It's definitely a must see place.

At the mouth of the cave, a clear lagoon is framed by ancient trees growing right to the water's edge. Monkeys, large monitor lizards, and squirrels find their niche on the beach near the cave.
