Karst Treasure of Tropical Palawan

El Nido is a tropical paradise that holds extraordinary geological wonders. Renowned for its sharp and majestic limestone formations, the area is part of a vast karst system that has formed over hundreds of millions of years.

The uplifting of ancient seafloors, the dissolution of rocks by rainwater, and natural erosion have created a unique landscape of steep cliffs, natural caves, and hidden lagoons.

These geological phenomena make El Nido a premier destination for geotourism, where visitors can witness the dynamic forces of the Earth in visible form.

Diving in the surrounding waters reveals intricate seabed rock structures, while expeditions into the limestone caves unveil fossils and ancient layers of Earth’s history. El Nido is not just a place for relaxation and tropical beauty, it is a living classroom where geology and nature come together in one of the most breathtaking settings in the Philippines.
