The Underground River (Palawan,Philippines)

Every December our family goes to vacation in different places in the Philippines. Last December our family went to Palawan. This place has one of the world’s great wonder, an underground river, which was made in the hands of nature. Before arriving the actual river, we have to cross the sea from the main land, the sea was ragging, as if we were riding a carnival ride. But when we arrived at the underground, it was completely opposite with sea- serene and peaceful. The water was so clear that all we see is transparent clear fluid with tiny silver fishes swimming in it. We rode a boat that is paddled by a man (no motors are allowed because it might cause damage on the the stone). Inside, it was literally a cave (very dark) with stones on our ceiling and side (these are stalagmites and stalactites), which are formed through time. These stones have formations of mushroom,corn, a girl, even a big church :). It was really cool.

Inside the cave-in real it's really dark and only single light from the boat lights the place

The lighthouse is one of the oldest landmarks in Corregidor. A lighthouse with a beam range of 33 miles (53 km). It was first built by the Spaniards in 1836 and was replaced with a better one in 1853. The second lighthouse was further improved in 1892 and was reduced to ruins during the siege of Corregidor. This rehabilitated lighthouse stands on the same spot where the second lighthouse stood before.
