El Nido

The place is always known as the country’s last frontier and sometimes "the Island of the Gods". This place offers great beaches that will take you away from the city life.

It is the best place to go if you are looking for peace and serenity.

The place offers beautiful landscapes, diving sites, cave explorations, kayaking, water activities and island hopping.

El Nido is named after the edible nests of Swiftlets (Collocalia Fuciphaga) found in the crevices of its limestone cliffs. These nests, “nido” in Spanish, are the main ingredient for the gourmet nido soup.

El Nido is considered as a showcase of Palawan’s geology and diverse wildlife.

Its majestic limestone cliffs stand guard over clear waters, with hundreds of species of tropical fishes and corals, and three species of endangered sea turtles.

El Nido’s forests are host to more than 100 species of birds, a large number of which are endemic to Palawan.

El Nido still boasts of thick forests with trees of majestic height and whose roots are often taller than a full-grown man.

The rich tropical forest is also a source of local materials, like a palm leaf called “nipa”, which is used as roofing for houses, and the roots of trees, sometimes used as rudders for the local outrigger boat, or “banca”.
