Spectacular and truly breathtaking that is what El Nido, Philippines is!

 El Nido is a Philippine municipality in Palawan island. It is one of the most popular and in demand tourist attractions in the country. It is known for its world class beaches, lagoons, and limestone cliffs. As a matter of fact, El Nido has been recognized by its incomparable and majestic beauty.
