UNESCO World Heritage Site: Puerto-Princesa Subterranean River National Park Brief Description

This park features a spectacular limestone karst landscape with an underground river. One of the river's distinguishing features is that it emerges directly into the sea, and its lower portion is subject to tidal influences.
