    Puerto Princesa Trip: Kuyba Almoneca

    Image
    Kuyba Almoneca was known in Puerto Princesa as a Holy Meditation Garden and because of the Holy Face of Jesus that can be found inside the cave. It was located at Barangay San Jose, Puerto Princesa City, Palawan. Signage at the Entrance Kuyba means cave and the Almoneca is the combination of names of the Children of the owner. The entrance fee here is just P150.00 per head. They actually increased their entrance fee (It was just P50.00 per head before haha) We started our tour after paying and got our tour guide. Surprisingly, our tour guide is just a kid around 10-12 years old! Our first stop was on the Holy Family Cave where you can see the Holy Face of Jesus. Before entering the cave, we have to wear a helmet for our protection on sharp stones. This cave was a actually an old dump site. People are throwing their trash here until the owner decided to clean the place and renovate it.  After here, we went to the Bat's Cave. Well, were not able to ent

    Firefly Watching in Palawan: Another exciting trip to check out

    Save at least one night to get away from the bars and noise of the city. Experience the Puerto Princesa Bay at Night and book a firefly watching tour that will allow you to get closer to nature while watching the natural lights coming from the flickering creatures in the absence of the sun. The adventure of firefly watching will start at Puerto Princesa City Baywalk around six in the evening, From there, you have to ride a boat with maximum capacity of 23 person which is big enough to accommodate us. It usually takes 20-25 minutes travel by boat going to the other side of the bay where the firefly site was located. Puerto Princesa Bay was surrounded by thousands of trees, mangroves, and mountains that make the bay so calm. So, if you are wondering if this is a safe tour, definitely it’s a YES! Baywalk (Photo Credit to the Owner) The first stop of this tour is on their floating restaurant where you can eat your FREE dinner which is already included in the package.
