Puerto Princesa River, Philippines

The Puerto Princesa river in the Philippines is the largest underground water system in the world. The river has formed remarkable caves and is home to thousands of birds, bats and other species adapted to life in total darkness. The locals climb trees in the surrounding countryside to harvest honey from wild bees in death defying acts of bravery. The honey harvest marks the beginning of the “Lembayan” festivities where the whole community comes together for days of celebrations.
