Puerto Princesa Underground River, Philippines

Situated on the coast of Palaway, about 364 miles (585 kilometers) off the coast of Manila, Puerto Princesa Underground River has recently been designated as one of the Seven New Wonders of Nature. With five miles (8.2 kilometers) of navigable waters, it is considered the longest navigable underground river in the world. Visitors taking a paddle boat tour of the cave will see massive caverns, a huge cave dome, unusual rock formations and the legions of swiftlets and bats that inhabit the caves. Lion’s Cave, Daylight Hole and Kawili Cave are popular with explorers.
