Let’s go to Palaui by Caroline Cruz
Palaui was declared a marine reserve (Category: Protected landscape and seascape) in 1994. A volcanic island, it has a diverse ecosystem of coralline beaches, mangroves, cliffs, springs, waterfalls, rainforest, and endemic flora and fauna. Of which, some species are yet to be named.
Palaui island’s extensive coral reef is perfect for snorkeling and diving. The island is also a perfect site for fishing, hiking, camping, and other outdoor activities.
Visit Cape Engaño lighthouse to get an excellent view of the island and its surrounding area. This 118-year-old lighthouse is made out of volcanic bricks and it has a fortress-like design.
