Featured Article
The Puerto Princesa Subterranean River National Park is a UNESCO World Heritage Site located about 50 kilometers north of the city of Puerto Princesa in the province of Palawan, Philippines. It contains the renowned Subterranean River, thought to be the longest navigable underground river system in the world. The National Park is part of the Saint Paul Mountain Range situated on the northern coast of the island.
The park features a limestone karst mountain landscape, with an 8.2-kilometer navigable underground river. The cave contains stalactite and stalagmite formations, as well as several massive chambers. A distinguishing feature of this river is it winds inside the cave before emptying itself into the South China Sea.

The Geography and Travel Portal
Geography is the study of the location, extent, distribution, frequency, and interaction of all the important elements of the human and physical environment on the Earth's surface, particularly its features and the distribution of life on the planet. Physical geography, which focuses on earth science, provides knowledge on the physical, meteorological and ecological patterns of the earth. Human geography discusses economic, political and cultural geography, focusing more on the non-physical aspects of the world.
This WikiPilipinas portal on geography contains an outline of Philippine geography topics, including both human and physical aspects. This is the proposed framework of WikiPilipinas' pool of editors to guide readers and contributors, to reach the aim of creating an authoritative and comprehensive discussion on Philippine geography.
If you want to help, please register and be part of the growing community of volunteers in WikiPilipinas.
