Taraw Cliff

Taraw Cliff is a prominent limestone karst cliff rising above El Nido town in Barangay Buena Suerte, Palawan. Located at the edge of the town proper, it offers panoramic views over El Nido, Bacuit Bay and surrounding islands. Notable for its sharp karst formation and via ferrata hiking trail, it is a popular viewpoint and adventure site requiring a local guide for the ascent.

Visitors can expect a short but steep guided hike via a via ferrata with metal ladders, cables and wooden steps leading to a summit viewpoint. The trail passes through sharp limestone karst and forested sections. At the top, there is an open viewing platform with 360-degree views over El Nido town, Marimegmeg area, Bacuit Bay, Cadlao Island and nearby islets. The site is primarily for sightseeing and photography; there are no large structures at the summit.

Taraw Cliff is a natural limestone karst formation characteristic of El Nido's Bacuit Bay geology, formed over millions of years. It has long served as a natural landmark for the town and is named after the local Taraw bird found in the cliffs.

The cliff is a well-known local landmark and symbol of El Nido town, frequently featured in local tourism promotion and valued by the community as a natural viewpoint overlooking the town and bay.
