Palawan is 8th in Lonely Planet's Top 10 Regions

Puerto Princesa Underground River

After clicking Ten countries to discover in 2013 on Yahoo! Philippines news feeds, a related travel article entitled Palawan named a top tourist destination also caught my attention. After reading the article, I was directed to Lonely Planet's website, where the information originated.

Lonely Planet, a globally renowned brand on travels, listed Ten Best Regions in 2013 and named our very own Palawan and placed it on the 8th spot.


It described Palawan, the Philippines as the ultimate archipelago for adventures.

Seven Wonders of Nature Marker

Other regions on the list of best travel destinations recommended in 2013 are:

1. Corsica, France
2. The Negev, Israel
3. Mustang, Nepal
4. The Yukon, Canada
5. Chachapoyas & Kuelap, Peru
6. The Gulf Coast, USA
7. Carinthia, Austria
9. Inland Sea, Japan
10.Campania, Italy

Palawan has apparently became a tourist hot spot after Puerto Princesa Underground River made it to the list of New Seven Wonders of Nature, which it truly deserves the same way that the province is being named one of the bests.


It was a humbling experience witnessing first hand, nature's marvel in Puerto Princesa and I couldn't be prouder that after setting foot in the province's capital city, I am set for another adventure next week, this time in the its northern region, Coron.

I have become more excited now for our Coron trip. I can't wait to see yet another beauty in Palawan. Moreso, I can't wait to say I have visited the province at least twice already (even before 2013). <smiles>
