TOURISM
The park, some accommodation and camping facilities and the underground river are accessible through bridges, trails, and boats. Visitors can also enjoy bird watching, mountain trekking, and exploring the deeper part of the forests.
The Puerto Princesa Subterranean River within the National Park is a popular tourist destination, accessed through either hiking 5km through the jungle, or hiring a boat as part of a tour. The breathtaking Underground River tour departing from the nearby village of Sabang takes visitors into the first 1.5km of the cave on a canoe and if they wish to go as further as halfway through the river, they will need to have a special permit.

THE ARTS

In the first Lord of the Rings movie, the Waiau River represented the River Anduin as the Fellowship paddled south from Lothlórien. The surrounding high peaks depicted the rough country south of Rivendell.

PURNULULU NATIONAL PARK

Purnululu National Park
Purnululu National Park is located 300 kilometres by road south of the small regional town of Kununurra. It is located in a semi-arid landscape represented by a diverse array of landforms and ecosystems that support a range of distinct vegetation, ranging from the desert shrubs along the Bungle Bungles Range’s plateaus to the rainforests along Osmond Creek valley. Across the landscape sweeps a maze of majestic beehive-like domes of sandstone karst, soaring up to 300m above the surrounding plains. Monsoonal downpours spark seasonal, natural waterfalls and pools with names such as Echidna Chasm, Piccaninny and

    Puerto rico

    Puerto Rico has been a U.S. territory for 115 years, yet Puerto Ricans remain second-class citizens. If it becomes a state, Puerto Ricans will no longer be exempt from Federal income tax and even more people will be forced on to the public’s benefits paid by the government. There are some positive truths to look at also, as journalist Catherine Lozada points out: “Puerto Rico costs the U.S. over $22 billion a year. However, as a state it will contribute nearly $2 billion to the U.S. treasury each year.” There will always be that one question which longs to be answered, and that is: What’s keeping Puerto Rico in Political limbo?…

    One of the many activities available is tubing. To tube, you get on a round raft type of object and you sit in the middle of it and ride down the river. You can see all the beautiful things around you, such as the trees, the little islands and the wildlife on the sides of the river. The trees are a brilliant green all summer and in spring they bloom with lovely white and pink colors. In autumn, they turn a bright red, yellow, and orange, lighting up the river. Some islands look eerie in winter because it is hard to see through all the branches and trees, giving the island a dark, spooky look. Other islands look warm and inviting, beckoning you in with their luscious branches full of different colored leaves. The wildlife looks beautiful, sometimes family of deer are visible; you can usually see one or two yearlings with their mother. Other times you can see chunky little groundhogs, usually during spring time. To see the groundhogs, you have to pay attention minutely because they are usually undistinguished among all the trees and the ground. Kayaking and canoeing are other options, which are both just as entertaining as tubing except they are more serene. You can put your hands in the river and sometimes feel the scaly fish rub up against your hand.…
