Heritage Center in Puerto Princesa

Heritage center Heritage center is the main museum of Palawan, which we recommend you to visit if you stay in Puerto Princesa. And it is best to do this first of all before you decide to travel further around the island. There is a really large and informative historical and ethnographic exhibition, which is complemented by an excellent excursion accompaniment (in English), and all this for a nominal fee. Well, there is also an exhibition of contemporary Palawan artists.

The most important and useful thing about this museum is that you will really be able to learn a lot of interesting things about the way of life, traditions and history of the peoples of Palawan, as well as about interesting places that even the most advanced guidebooks and bloggers don't know about. For example, we were told that Palawan is considered almost the main cradle of the spread of civilization in the Philippines, and it was from here that 10 nationalities began to populate other islands. However, in the XVI century, the Spanish colonial period began, during which the Spaniards purposefully erased history, destroyed historical monuments and sources. Only now, as a result of the painstaking work of researchers, it is possible to recreate the historical picture bit by bit and part of it is presented here.

Also here you can get information about little-known sights and tribal villages, where excursion groups are not taken because of their inaccessibility, but they can be reached with private guides or by going on an expedition yourself. So if you are not just a tourist at heart, but also an explorer, then you may find for yourself here a perfect new direction for making a travel itinerary around the island.
