El Nido Palawan Walking Tour. Exploring Poblacion and Corong Corong on Foot.

El Nido has some great island-hopping tours. But aside from doing island hopping tours, you can also explore it on foot to experience the local vibes, get to know more about its local history and to meet its friendly local people. El Nido, also known as Bacuit, has been inhabited by humans since at least 2680 BC, possibly as early as 22,000 years ago. This was confirmed by fossils and burial sites dating back to the Late Neolithic Age that can be found in many caves and excavation sites surrounding the municipality. Chinese traders regularly visited the area of Palawan for its edible birds' nests during the Song dynasty (960–1279). The island was mentioned in Chinese records of 1225. The town traces its roots from a small Tagbanwa village called Talindak. Sometime in the 16th century, waves of migrants from Cuyo Islands settled in the area. In the 1800s, the Spaniards arrived, and they moved to the area where the present-day Población and Mabini are located. In 1890, the Spaniards renamed it Bacuit. At the time, the center of the town was Cabigsing, then known as Inventario. Chinese families moved into the area about the same period, first settling in Langeblangeban. During the Spanish colonial era, the town was under the jurisdiction of the Municipality of Taytay, which was the capital of the former Province of Calamianes from 1818. It remained part of Taytay until 1916, when it formally became an independent municipality. The new municipality was then known as Bacuit. On June 17, 1954, Republic Act No. 1140 was approved, changing the name of the town from Bacuit to its present name, El Nido, after the edible nests of swiftlets or balinsasayaw found in the crevices of its limestone cliffs. Walking around Poblacion and the nearby Corong Corong allows visitors to get to know more about this laidback town beyond the usual tourist attractions. Visit the century-old St. Francisco de Asisi Church, the new Municipal Building, the small Plaza Rizal, the local schools, the Balayong-lined Streets, the local bakery shops and many more. We also got to try budget-friendly meals available in El Nido and the newly opened branch of MacDonalds.
