According to Fodors Travel, Puerto Princesa, which is the capital of Palawan, was the first carbon-neutral city in Southeast Asia and is still one of the only few cities in the region to have achieved this status.
The very definition of eco-luxury, Palawan is one of the Philippines’ most magical islands where underwater worlds meet lush jungles.
Palawan is the Philippines’ westernmost and largest province; a long thin archipelago comprised of several islands and one of the country’s most popular tourist destinations. As climate change becomes an even bigger problem in the world, 2023 may be the year to really think about the effect your travel has on our planet and visit more sustainable destinations. The capital and main city in Palawan, Puerto Princesa, was the first carbon-neutral city in South East Asia and is still one of the only few in the region. Not only that, but it is, in fact, carbon-negative. Known as “The City in the Forest,” Puerto Princesa is surrounded by dense trees, and much of it is solar-powered, including the world’s largest solar-powered off-grid shopping mall.
But of course, the province’s main attractions lie away from the city, along its dazzling coastline, punctuated by dreamy powdery beaches, lagoons, and swathes of jungle. And underneath the waves lie some of the best diving and snorkeling locations on the planet, where underwater coral cities teem with life. One of the main highlights in Palawan is the Puerto Princesa Subterranean River, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and the longest navigable underground river on Earth at 8.2 kilometers (5.1 miles). Small boats take visitors along the river into the heart of the mountain through the cathedral-like cave system.
