Mimaropa
Including Palawan, Mindoro and other islands, with El Nido, Coron and an underground river making it the cream of Philippine island travel.
Mimaropa consists of five provinces: Occidental Mindoro, Oriental Mindoro, Marinduque, Romblon and Palawan. In Palawan, El Nido is known for its limestone cliffs and lagoons; Coron has lakes and diving on sunken WWII Japanese ships; and the Puerto Princesa Underground River and Tubbataha Reefs are both World Heritage sites. In Oriental Mindoro, Puerto Galera is a beach destination popular with Manila residents, and Marinduque's Moriones Festival takes place during Holy Week. The dry season runs roughly from December to May. The airports at Puerto Princesa, El Nido and Coron (Busuanga) are the main gateways.
