What to do in the Philippines?

Manila

When traveling to the Philippines, why not start your stay with a visit to the capital. Nestled on the bay, Manila is located on the island of Luçon. What offer beautiful walks by the sea to discover the architecture with Spanish influences, trace of the old colonial power. At the end of the day, the view is exceptional with the sunset. Have dinner in one of the small restaurants on the promenade.

Boracay

It is on Boracay, one of the islands of the archipelago, that we probably find the most beautiful beach in the country. It is also the best place for lively evenings. We have a drink there on the beach and we dance all night in one of the bars of the station. On the island as elsewhere in the Philippines, the best way to get around is the particularly typical tuk-tuk as well as the boat to go from island to island.

Puerto Princesa Underground River National Park

Not far from the town of the same name, the park is located in the heart of the Saint Paul mountain range. Accessible by boat, we take you into the underground river. Stay alert to the wildlife, which is very present in the park.
