Palawan

Palawan's topography is characterized by its dramatic and varied landscape, encompassing rugged mountains, limestone karst formations, and lush rainforests. The province features the Saint Paul Mountain Range, where elevations peak at around 6,844 feet (2,086 meters) with prominent heights like Mount Mantalingajan. The terrain transitions from coastal lowlands and flat plains to rolling hills and steep cliffs, creating a dynamic environment that supports diverse ecosystems​. This unique topography is particularly notable in the Puerto Princesa Subterranean River National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage site, which showcases an extensive underground river that flows directly into the sea, surrounded by striking cave systems and rich biodiversity​. Palawan's landscapes not only contribute to its scenic beauty but also provide vital habitats for endemic and endangered species, making it a critical area for conservation efforts.
