Philippine culture is a unique result of Asian and American influences. This archipelago of hundreds of islands offers you plenty of beautiful beaches and great nature combined with the classic hustle of a quickly developing Asian country.
You Philippines trip will begin in the capital city of Manila. You will have time to acclimatize, get to know Manila’s historic part of the city’s centre and take a ride in a jeepney. Then take a bus to the northern parts of Luzon Island and discover awesome Cordilleras and rice terraces in the Banaue and Batad area. After this retreat, you will take a bus back to Manila and fly to Palawan.
Your Palawan adventure will start in the Puerto Princesa area. Visit the longest underground river in the world here and hop between islands in Honda Bay. Afterwards, swap this for the northern part of the island. El Nido will be your base to discover the great beaches nearby.
Now it’s time for some more discoveries. Ascend to Mount Pinatubo, which includes a jeep ride followed by a three-hour trek to the crater of this volcano, where you can swim in the azure waters of a lake. Believe us, waking up early to see it all is worth it. Your next stop will be Bohol island and its Chocolate Hills, which are dozens of small conical hills reminiscent of chocolate pralines.
