We've tried to surf in the net about Palanan and have neither seen much of its images nor videos about this very promising place. How we wish that we could travel to the place soon to document the municipality and its surroundings like what we did during our 1st expedition, gathering images and footages of the places in Isabela . We, however, came accross Vic Albornoz Lactaoen's blog about the place. Vic, a travel writer for Cebu Pacific Airways new inflight magazine-Smile and contributor for Manila Bulletin’s Travel Section and The Business Mirror, gave us a very beautiful 
picture of Palanan: ". . . there are the virgin white sand beaches of Dicotcotan and Didadungan, probably Isabela’s best kept secrets. The coastline of both beaches are very much exposed to strong waves from the Pacific Ocean, perfect not only for swimming but also for surfing. Dicotcotan beach has a three-kilometer coastline with coral reefs, sea grass beads and sandy shoreline that is fringed with a coastal forest and a a village. According to Reynante de Veyra, a staff from the city hall, there has been frequent sightings of pointed nosed dolphins and hump back whales aside from the various species of fishes and shellfish, and marine turtles that can be seen from the surface . . . . (click here and know more about Palanan) . Marlet D. Salazar, a travel writer of Inquirer described Palanan as . . . a "Hidden Paradise". Because of its diverse environment, Palanan was declared Wilderness Area in 1979. You may also view Palanan's geographical location at Google Earth.
