A secret world all of its own. The bayugan snakes along for 8.2km underneath the karst landscape of the Puerto Princesa Subterranean River National Park. The waterway has eroded a series of vast chambers on its journey.

From Tanzania to Eritrea. The earth is being wrenched apart along the Great Rift Valley and will one day form a new ocean.

The Foreign Office before traveling like this is a geologically volatile area.

The awesome calcium travertines formed by the cooling waters of this mineral bath spa certainly deserve such a title. There has been a spa on this site since Roman times and many of the Roman buildings remain as ruins including the original pool which you can swim in. My inner historian is squealing in excitement just writing about it.
