El Nido is bordered by the Linapacan Strait in the north, the Sulu Sea in the east and the South China Sea in the west. Check our Infos Tourist page for more information about Palawan and El Nido.
 Established as a marine reserve, El Nido is named after the edible nests of Swiftlets (Collocalia Fuciphaga) found in the crevices of its limestone cliffs. These nests, “nido” in Spanish, are the main ingredient for the gourmet nido soup. El Nido is considered as a showcase of Palawan’s geology and diverse wildlife. Its majestic limestone cliffs which are estimated to be 250 million years old stand guard over clear waters, with hundreds of species of tropical fishes and corals, and three species of endangered sea turtles. El Nido’s forests are host to more than 100 species of birds, a large number of which are endemic to Palawan.
