Philippines Travel Tips

The Philippines is a country rich in natural beauty and cultural heritage. Yet, sadly, few tourists make the effort to visit.

The Philippines boast some of the most beautiful beaches in Asia, and it offers great opportunities for scuba diving. Active volcanoes, verdant jungles, and emerald rice paddies are among its other natural attractions.

Cultural treasures of the Philippines include the ancient rice terraces of Banaue, the baroque churches and palaces of the Spanish era, and glimpses of the ancient cultures of the early pre-colonial Philippines.

if you have just a few days to visit, the cities of Manila and Cebu are worth a day or two each; but you should also visit Boracay and its white sand beaches, the Chocolate Hills of Bohol, and the wilderness areas of Palawan.
