Coron, a thousand and one adventures
For three days and 2 nights, I explored the breathtaking Coron in the province of Palawan. The quiet town of Coron is part the Calamian Group of Islands or the Calamianes.
The Calamian Group of Islands is comprised of the Busuanga Island, where the town of Coron is located, the Coron Island, the former leper colony Culion Island, and several smaller islands.
Coron is known for so many things. Many people would even compare Coron as a mix of Honda Bay and El Nido in one. White sandy beaches with aquamarine waters are just everywhere. Lofty Limestone cliffs are aplenty. And for the brave souls, wreck diving is must.
Several Japanese warships have sunk around the area and is now one of the major diving attractions in the area.
Climbing the Mt. Tapyas is an experience worth all the sweat. There are 726 steps leading to its summit. Once you reached its peak, you get to see the breathtaking view of the island from a different perspective. Viewing the sunset from Mt. Tapyas is definitely a must. You get to see magic here as the skies change its hues until the sun has set.
But it is the beaches that really caught the fancy of the many adventurers. Coron’s white sand beaches are simply the best. Very fine white sand hugs the crystal clear waters. What a perfect place to enjoy the sun, sea, and sand! Several species of colourful fishes greet you when you take a dip on its cool waters. The corals abound everywhere too.
But at the end of the day, when one is already tired of all the adventure at the sea, beach, mountain and the limestone cliffs, one can take a dip at the Maquinit Hot spring for a quick rejuvenation. The Hot Spring is so good that it actually relaxes your body and removes all the tired feeling you get from all the day’s activities.
Weird as it may seem, but the Maquinit Hot Spring on Coron Palawan is actually saltwater. Thus, it give you a double effect when taking a dip. It opens up your pores and removes all the toxins from your body. For a very minimal fee, the Maquinit Hot Spring can give modern day Spa a run for their money.
And being an island, it is just natural for the locals to live by fishing. Hence, the abundance of fresh seafood at the public market. Lobsters and lapu lapu, both are prized items in Manila, are sold here dirt cheap. Squids, shrimps, and all sorts of fishes are always sold guaranteed fresh.
And being a small town, Coron has no international brand restaurants but their eateries only serve the most delicious seafood, guaranteed fresh catch of the day. There are no four of five star hotels but the cottages are more than enough to give you a good night’s sleep. There is no taxi service, but there are tricycles and jeepneys that can bring you to your destinations safely and comfortably.
This is Coron. This is where a thousand and one adventures belongs. (by Eric Dormido)
