Palawan is an archipelagic province in the Philippines, known for its stunning beaches, crystal-clear waters, and diverse marine life. The island offers a chance to explore pristine beaches, stunning limestone cliffs, and the unique underground river. It is also home to several indigenous cultures and traditions, providing a rich cultural experience.
Palawan has a deep history, once being part of the landmass connecting Borneo and the Philippines. Its earliest inhabitants were the Tabon Man.
Palawan culture is a blend of indigenous groups and migrant communities. The economy primarily thrives on tourism, fishing, and agriculture.
September generally sees the end of the rainy season, with a mixture of sunny days and occasional tropical rain showers. Humidity levels are moderate, and temperatures range from 77°F to 86°F (25°C to 30°C), making it a relatively comfortable time to visit.
While Palawan can be visited all year round, the best time to visit is during the dry season from November to May. However, September starts to ease away from the rainy season, offering lower tourist crowds and lower prices, making it an excellent choice for those looking to explore with fewer tourists around.
