OVERVIEW

Tour the city like a local by riding around Puerto Princesa in the back of a motorized tricycle, one of the most popular means of public transportation. The driver will provide enlightening commentary during the stops, beginning at Plaza Cuartel. Now a national historic site, the plaza stands as a grim reminder of the atrocities of World War II, as 150 American prisoners of war died there when the Japanese set fire to their garrison beneath the park. Across the street, you will pause for photos of the neo-classical Immaculate Conception Cathedral, where the first mass was held in the city. You will discover more about Palawan as you visit Palawan Museum. Free time will also be allotted so you can meander about a local market and stroll the tree-lined promenade along the bay.

HIGHLIGHTS

• Ride around town in motorized tricycle while a local adds commentary.
• See the iconic cathedral where the city’s first mass was held in 1872.
• Enjoy free time at a local market and by strolling the bayside promenade.
