Coron Town Busuanga

Coron Town on Busuanga Island is the gateway to some of the most dramatic landscapes in the world. The region is famous for its striking limestone cliffs that rise steeply from the azure sea, hiding lagoons like the Twin Lagoons or Kayangan Lake, which is regarded as the cleanest lake in Asia. For divers, Coron is a paradise, as numerous Japanese WWII shipwrecks lie at divable depths here, a unique combination of history and marine biodiversity. In the town itself, visitors can hike up Mount Tapyas, which provides an unforgettable view of the entire archipelago, especially at sunset. For relaxation after a day on the water, the Maquinit Hot Springs are natural outdoor saltwater springs. Local cuisine features fresh seafood and the famous Coron cashews. Access is typically by flight from Manila to Busuanga Airport (Francisco B. Reyes) or by ferry from El Nido. The best time to visit is from December to June, when the weather is dry and underwater visibility is at its best. Coron features a slightly more rustic and adventurous atmosphere than El Nido but retains an incredible charm. It is a place where you can feel the raw power of nature, whether snorkeling in coral gardens or kayaking through quiet lagoons. A visit to Coron is a must for any traveler to the Philippines seeking something extraordinary.
