Wilderness Landscape & Natural Heritage
Sohoton Natural Park, situated in the picturesque island of Samar, Philippines, spans more than 840 hectares of stunning landscape. The park is famous for its unique karst rock formations, navigable caves, and the iconic Sohoton Cove which presents a labyrinthine maze of islets and lagoons. The area is nestled in a tropical rainforest, hosting a diverse array of flora and fauna, some of which are endemic to the region. Enthusiasts of outdoor recreation can explore the cavernous Sohoton Caves or glide through the serene waters to appreciate the untouched coral gardens. Historically, the park is significant to the Waray people and has been relatively preserved from over-commercialization. Visitors are attracted by the excellent opportunities for kayaking, diving, and hiking, while experiencing the serene beauty of the region's natural treasures.
