2. Subterranean River National Park

Another Unesco World Heritage site, this underground river in Puerto Princesa features an underground limestone landscape. Getting swallowed by the total darkness could be quite an experience.

When paddling inside the cave, try asking everyone to turn off their torches and you will be overwhelmed with the pitch black darkness you would lose your sense of balance.
