limestone caves and underground
river of the biodiverse Puerto
Princesa Subterranean River
National Park
PALAWAN
Palawan, one of the best

places to visit in the
Philippines, is consistently
ranked as one of the best
islands in the world, and for
a good reason
It boasts white sand beaches and islands,

clear blue waters, a spectacular variety of
marine life and shipwreck sites, and
majestic towering limestone cliffs.
TARAW CLIFF IN
PALAWAN
The giant limestone cliff is a famous

attraction on the island. It offers a steady
rock climbing experience and spectacular
views of the Bacuit Bay.
Once considered an eyesore along the La Trinidad

highway in Benguet, Stobosa Hillside Homes
Artwork is now a tourist attraction that draws
crowds of onlookers wanting to capture a unique
Instagram-worthy image to show off to their friends
and family.
STOBOSA BAGUIO
Boracay's White Beach has been

recognized as one of the most
beautiful beaches in the world
through the years. There's
something about its natural beauty
– its crystal blue water, its pure
white sand, and its magical sunsets.
BORACAY
Mayon Volcano is known for its steep-sloped

cone. The Smithsonian reports that the
volcano's picturesque symmetry makes it
something of a tourist attraction, with
climbers trying to get to its rim. But it is
precisely this dramatic shape that indicates
how frequent the volcano erupts
MAYON VOLCANO
FORT SANTIAGO
Fort Santiago is the oldest Spanish bastion in

the Philippines. Situated inside the walled
city of Intramuros in Manila, the site
witnessed many historical events of the
Philippines. The exact spot where Fort
Santiago now stands was once a Muslim
kingdom ruled by a chieftain named Rajah
Sulayman.
RIZAL PARK
Rizal Park, widely known as Luneta Park is an

iconic park that carries with it a rich history,
as it is the location where the country's
National Hero, Dr. Jose Rizal was executed.
The park was also formerly known as
Bagumbayan during the Spanish Occupation
in the Philippines
LUSONG CORAL
GARDEN
Lusong Coral Garden, the vast coral

garden beneath Lusong Island in
southwestern Coron, Palawan
province, offers crystal-clear water and
great visibility. This is thanks to a strong
current that constantly moves, benefitting
both the corals and the visitors
HANGING COFFIN,
SAGADA
The Hanging Coffins of Sagada, Mountain

Province is a mystifying spectacle that has
attracted a great number of curious
minds. This bizarre practice of placing the
coffins on the face of a mountain was
brought about by their belief that it puts
the deceased closer to heaven
Corrigedor Island
A tour of Corregidor Island is a must-see for

history buffs visiting the Philippines. The
island played a significant role in World War
II and was the location of several battles. The
relics left behind from these battles include
secret tunnels and bunkers used as hideouts
during the war, as well as weapons, barracks,
and historical artifacts.
PAGSANJAN FALLS
The only thing more exciting than

admiring one of the most notable
waterfalls in the Philippines is
traversing it in a dugout canoe. The
Pagsanjan Falls waterfall is part of
the Pagsanjan Gorge National Park..
COLONIAL VIGAN
CITY
A fun place to visit with a terrific

pre-colonial flair is the streets of
Calle Crisologo of Vigan City, located
in the Ilocos province. It stands out
from other cities in the Philippines.
The brick streets and traditional
horse and carriage mode of
transportation are reminiscent of
the 16th-century trading hub that
used to be for foreign traders
coming through the area
TAAL VOLCANO
The Taal Volcano on the island of

Luzon is one of the most active in
the country. It is in the center of Taal
Lake, so just getting to the crater is
part of the adventure. The city
of Talisay, where you will catch a
boat to get to the crater, is less than
an hour's drive from Manila. You
will catch a boat to go across Taal
Lake then hike to the rim of the
crater.
HANGING BRIDGE,
SEVILLA
On the island of Bohol, a bridge

made entirely of bamboo swings
almost 40 meters in the air over
the Loboc River. For those with a
sense of adventure, or a desire to
conquer a fear of heights, the
hanging bridge walk will be a
vacation experience you will never
forget. The hanging bridge is in the
town of Sevilla. It is easy to combine
this experience with other
excursions on Bohol Island.
SUGBA LAGOON
SIARGAO
There are so many iconic lagoons in

the Philippines that have movie-set
quality tranquil blue waters below a
towering cliffside, but one of the
most spectacular is Sugba Lagoon on
the island of Siargao. The lagoon is
perfect for just basking in the
natural, peaceful surroundings, but
there are plenty of activities, too, if
you want a more adventurous day.
