Taraw Cliff / Canopy walk

Taraw Cliff is that giant limestone karst overlooking the beautiful town of El Nido in Palawan. It is the highest peak in town and the most prominent figure resembling a fortress when seen from the waters approaching El Nido. It is both forbidding and magnificent especially the protective manner of how it seems to engulf the entire town within its expanse.

How To Climb The Taraw Cliff?

The Taraw Cliff is accessible from town, as it overlooks the whole city. It’s thus impossible to miss, but there are several things you need to now if you want to do the climbing…

1) You will need a tour guide. The climbing is not as easy as some people may say… To get to the top of this limestone cliff, you definitely need to know where you’re going and where you can set foot. If you go on your own, it will (obviously) be at your own risks. We strongly advise that you hire a well experienced and licensed guide to accompany you during the climb. We have a guide ready to go with you just contact us in advance so we can organize everything for you).

2) This climbing requires a good physical condition. Sure, this is not the Himalaya… But there are some parts of the climb that are more difficult than others. So, for your own safety, it’s better you only attempt this climbing if you’re physical fit.

3) It’s better to avoid wearing flip-flops in order to climb the Taraw Cliff. Last but not least, it can be tricky for a non-expert climber to get to the top of Taraw Cliff with mere flip-flops. We recommend you to bring hiking shoes to avoid injuries and get a better grip on the limestone walls.
