El Nido is an archipelago that consists of 45 islands and islets. According to CNNGo, it is the Best Beach and Island destination in the Philippines. That is because of its extraordinary natural splendor and ecosystem! Some call it the "unspoiled paradise on earth" for its surreal beauty. In this beautiful seascape, there are over 30 diving sites ranging from six to more than thirty meters in depth. The limestone cliffs that guard the islands are ideal for activities like mountain biking and rock climbing. There are direct flights to El Nido from Manila. Getting around in El Nido is quite easy as it is a small town. If walking is too much trouble, one can rent bikes. As for accommodation, one can take a room in town and be close to restaurants, beach-side bars, sights and sounds or splurge some cash for accommodation in the archipelago itself.
