Hurray! Puerto Princesa Underground River made it to the top seven list of the New Seven Wonders of Nature!
It’s not yet final and official though as it will be made official come early 2012. The results were based on the preliminary tally held yesterday, of course, 11.11.11.
Visit here to see the rest of the seven wonders as well as the other 28 finalists.
We’ve been to Coron and El Nido islands, both in Palawan and hence neighboring islands of Puerto Princesa, both beautiful in their own rights. We’ve been to Halong Bay in Vietnam as well, listed as one of the seven wonders together with Puerto Princesa. But we are yet to see the underground river. Hope we could get to visit Puerto Princesa in our next vacation in the Philippines. Can’t wait!!
I tell others that Puerto Princesa should be visited first in Palawan because Coron is just a wow’er (I haven’t been to El Nido, but they say it’s as beautiful as Coron). But I refer to the island hopping and snorkeling experience. The PP Undergound River is definitely one to visit and if it really make it to the 7 wonders list, it will make the experience all the more special. Okay, I just missed the Philippines and its natural beauty!
I remember Halong Bay with El Nido actually and I wonder why El Nido isn’t in the list. Probably it’s cause it is so exclusive? Anyways, we might ask for your help when we visit PP Underground in our next vacation hopefully. And yes, we do miss sightseeing in the philippines as well!
