Puerto Princesa is more than its scenic surroundings, the famous underground river, and beautiful beaches, it's also a location full of amazing cultural spots that are vital to every tourist's visit. You’ll be conveniently picked up at your hotel by your guide before heading to the first stop. Arrive at the Palawan Wildlife Rescue and Conservation Center, a valuable sanctuary that protects local animals and the fauna found within the region. Established in 1987, the center is a breeding place for Philippine crocodiles as well as home to a few endangered animals. You'll not only be able to observe freshwater and saltwater crocodiles, you also get to pet some baby crocs too! Get to see other animals such as ostriches and bearcats. Then it's off to Mitra's Ranch, which gives you a spectacular panoramic hilltop view of Puerto Princesa. You'll find yourself craving for a sweet treat when you hit your next spot at Baker's Hill, which is famed all over the Philippines for its sweet delicacies, with everything from cashew nuts, hopia, brownies, and more local delicacies that are perfect for snacking and bringing home as souvenirs. Your next location will be at Binatuan Creations' Weaving Loom Center. Here, you'll be able to see and even try making handloom woven products and items made from indigenous fibers, which are vital to Palawan’s local economy. You'll then visit the Immaculate Conception Cathedral, a historically poignant location which held the first Catholic Mass in Puerto Princesa during the Spanish Era. More Spanish-era history will be found in the Plaza Cuartel which was used as a garrison by Spanish soldiers during World War 2.
