Itinerary description

Show original

A BIKE CRANK on the island of Palawan caused an intercostal fracture. Nothing serious but we had to ABANDON THE BIKE in Puerto Princesa and continue the trip to the north of Palawan on a MOTOR MOUNTAIN that we rented in the same village. Here is the story:
Stage without any technical difficulty and totally for encircled roads, except for the track section to visit the Kuyawyaw waterfalls, at approximately 29 km. Very little traffic until shortly before reaching the Nest. Half way, there is a good excuse to rest your ass, since we can visit the Kuyawyaw waterfalls, a series of very spectacular waterfalls that appear every 10 minutes as we are climbing a beautiful road in the middle of the jungle (the path is included in the track). The majority visit 3 waterfalls but they said that there were more. They are also an excellent place to freshen up a bit in the impressive gorges that have formed the cascades throughout the years. Access cost us 200 pesos (about 3.3 €) per person and they also forced us to take a guide paying 200 pesos more. It was noted that we were closer to the tourist destination of Palawan, El Nido, and the prices were already beginning to fire.
Corong Corong is a small town with a spectacular beach very close to El Nido (about 2 kms). It is a much quieter and more cozy place to stay than to the chaotic town of El Nido, apart from having the best sunsets in the area. We were at Greenviews Resort, a very nice place where we paid around 1800 pesos (€ 30) for a nice beachfront bungalow.

Kuyawyaw Falls

The Kuyawyaw waterfalls are a series of very spectacular waterfalls that appear every 10 minutes as we climb a beautiful road in the middle of the jungle. The majority visit 3 waterfalls but they said that there were more. It is a good excuse to rest your ass, as it is halfway between Taytay and El Nido, and to refresh yourself a bit in the impressive gorges that have formed the cascades over the years. The access cost 200 pesos (€ 3.3) per person and in addition they forced us to take a guide paying 200 pesos more. It is noted that we are close to the tourist destination par excellence of Palawan, El Nido, and prices are already beginning to fire. The track also includes the walk of about 20 minutes to access the waterfalls.
