From there, it will be another 30 minute van ride going to Coron's town proper. If you don't have any pre-arranged airport transfer service from hotels/lodging houses, there are vans waiting just in front of the airport. The per person rate as of this writing is Php150.
Along the way, you might be taken aback by the low-rising mountains and hills that are lacking of trees and shade. It might be because of the local practice of 'kaingin' or burning of the forest woods to use the land as fertile ground. Nonetheless, the herd of cows grazing nearby, some will even cross the road and slow your travel down, is definitely sight to see.
Aside from being a fishing town, Coron's main source of income is tourism. Coron boasts Japanese ship wrecks as Forbes Traveler Magazine’s top-10 best scuba diving sites in the world. Island loops also offer great snorkeling opportunities.
In the year 2000 Philippine census, Coron had a population of 32,243 people in 6,264 households and the town's annual income made Coron a first class municipality in the province of Palawan, Philippines.
