Question:
Answer:
I've heard CHAO CHAO is on C. Hama. How easy is it to find and what's the best way to get there if I'm staying in El Nido town??
You're in luck! C. Hama is a pretty central and well-known street in El Nido town, so CHAO CHAO should be a breeze to find. If you're staying within El Nido town proper, a pleasant walk is often the easiest and most scenic way to get around. Otherwise, local tricycles are abundant and can drop you right at the doorstep. Just tell your driver 'C. Hama'!
