Underground River as the NEW SEVEN WONDERS OF THE WORLD

Puerto Princesa Underground river is a world Heritage site inscribed by UNESCO way back in 1999. It is located in Puerto Princesa, Palawan. This is a 8.2 kilometers navigable underground river that winds through a spectacular cave all the way in to the South China Sea exit. The river flows within the awesome rugged limestones, stalagmites, stalactites and marble cliffs. You will be amazed by the rock formation that you will witness. Its as if it was designed by someone who is really a genuis in rock formation. No wonder this is the pride of the Puerto Princesa in Palawan.
You will witness how tourist friendly the locals are. As they are all well oriented for being as friendly as they can to the visitors. You'll have to rent a boat for your tour inside this wonderful underground cave. The boatmen are all very well trained in handling the difficult situations inside the cave.
This is definitely one of the main reason why you should go to Palawan. Next to Bohol, Palawan is in my number 2 spot. Dont miss the opportunity to witness this World Heritage Site.

Pagsanjan Falls

One of the most visited tourist destination in the province of Laguna is the Pagsanjan Falls. Located more than 100 kms. away from Manila southeast of Laguna, here lies one of the fantastic falls in the Philippines.

Features
One of the main feature here is the boat ride. Anyone who is an adventure seeker will surely enjoy the boat ride trip to the falls. This two-hour trip is the highlight of your visit in Pagsanjan. You will definitely enjoy the ride as you experience the rapids of the falls. It's as if you are in a foreign land. When you reach the fall, you can swim all you want using bamboo rafts and boulders around the area.

About the Boatride
Well, I can't say if there is actually a fixed price for the boatride because there are lots of boatmen offering their service in different prices especially during off season. But if you are going to Pagsanjan during the summer, you'll probably pay for about P1,500 per head for the boatride itself. But, its okay to spend that much cause you will be amaze in you experience there.

Tips:

• Bring vests
• Bring foods
• Be careful with your gadgets especially during the boat trip because you will surely be wet

Caylabne

Although the coast of Manila Bay in Cavite is largely polluted, you will be amazed to discover that here lies a spectacular beach with spectacular view and that is Caylabne. Who would want to travel more than hundreds of miles away from Manila where you can easily find a place equivalent to paradise in the Province of Cavite. Caylabne is now a prime tourist destination in Cavite as one of the top beaches of the province. I would recommend this place to those people especially in Manila and in Cavite who wants to experience white sand in the beach. If you are worried about the budget, well...you shouldn't be. If you can afford going to Puerto Galera or even in Boracay which more than twice farther than Caylabne, then you can surely go in Caylabne too.

Vigan is the Capital City of Ilocos Sur. This city is known for its old houses that was built way back during the spanish regime about more than a hundred years ago.

Although some may say that it is not as beautiful from what it was before, if you are going to see this place for the first time, you'll definitely be amazed on how beautiful the scenery is. Even some Filipinos find it quite had to have a vacation here especially if you are just an average wage earner. If you will be coming in from Manila, you can reach Boracay in just more than an hour ride from an airplane then a boat ride to the island. Locals are well oriented to help tourist especially foreign tourists. The beach covered by white sand is a must see not to mention the different activities in the beach that are waiting for you.
