In the Philippines, tourists are surrounded by butterflies in this garden of exotic Philippine flowering plants. Occasionally, one can witness the emergence of a young butterfly and other unusual insects such as the praying mantis, stick and leaf insects, giant scorpions, atlas beetles and other jungle insects. Palawan Butterfly Garden is a conservation project that can be successfully done on nearly any site from an urban rooftop to a suburban schoolyard, from a landscaped island at a business, to an expansive golf course garden. Imagine if we all did it? Our landscapes would not only be more beautiful, but they would provide corridors of habitat to sustain native butterfly populations across the Philippine.

Sabang Beach

Sabang beach is indeed a beautiful beach where you can enjoy its clear water and very fine sand. When we reached the place, only a few tourists were swimming on the beach maybe because it was scorching hot then. If you would plan to stay for a day or two in Sabang, there are quite a lot of accommodations (from the cheapest-most expensive) to choose from. But keep in mind that most of the rooms are not airconditioned. This place has no electricity and just depends on the generator that is being used from 6pm – 1am.

Snake Island’s name was derived after its snake-shaped form of elongated sand bar.

From Siete Pecados, we went to Atwayan Beach for some beach activities and lunch. The kids jumped into the water immediately while our bangkeros prepared our food on the beach. There were these little huts along the beach. Getting there early was important as these huts were few. As we would learn later through lunch, the place would get pretty crowded. Atwayan was one of those little islands which served as picnic areas in the Coron area. Apparently there are a few of these little beaches for this purpose.

Our next stop was at Coral Garden. When our boat anchored, a brood of tiny jellyfish (thousands of them, if not millions) surrounded our boat so we had a hard time jumping off. I got stung thrice and I still have the marks more than a week after, but it was worth it. Read More: http://stolenwanders.blogspot.com/2011/04/coron-day-2-black-island-coral-garden.html
