On the island of Busuanga, in the province of Palawan in the Philippines, the village of Coron offers a picturesque view with its colourful houses built on stilts. These traditional dwellings, erected above the calm waters, bear witness to the unique way of life of the local communities living in harmony with the sea.
The brightly coloured facades contrast beautifully with the blue of the ocean and the lush green of the surrounding hills. The wooden stilts allow the houses to withstand the tides and provide direct access to fishing, which remains an essential activity for the locals.
This idyllic landscape embodies the authenticity and charm of island life. It's a place where time seems to stand still, offering a glimpse of the simplicity and beauty of local daily life. Coron, in addition to its famous lagoons and dive sites, reveals an often overlooked but equally fascinating aspect of Palawan.
