I can”t get enough of El Nido and it is my favourite place in the Philippines so far. Our trip was almost six months ago, but I still have fond memories of this town. Here are some of our best photos from the trip.
Despite the long six-hour van ride to El Nido from Puerto Princesa, capital of Palawan – the journey is worth it due to the lush rice fields that dominate the view.
The town of El Nido seen from the view point, a few kilometres from the town proper.
This is the view in front of our room in El Nido – this limestone cliff dominates the view of Bacuit bay.
Enjoying balut (fertilised duck egg) for a late-night snack.

It”s not only us who are enjoying the beach
This is us actually on our way back from El Nido, our van broke down thrice and got stuck on the dirt road for a couple of hours
Do you have photos from El Nido, Palawan? Feel free to send them to us so we can post them here!

You may have just convinced me to visit the Philippines!! That duck egg thing looks rough though!
Yes, the balut is not for everyone, but definitely one you should try! Cheers mate, you’re more than welcome to to the Philippines!
