Capital and principal gateway to the country. A few historical facets and neighbourhoods of varied interest contrast with this gloomy and stifling atmosphere.

Asia

With over 7000 islands, the Philippines offer very diverse landscape in a tropical climate, all year round. Sometimes uneven, sometimes idyllic, it is the country's landscape that gives it all its character. The islands are a reflection of nature in its purest form: dense and luxurious jungle, fine sandy beaches, stunning animal reserve, underground rivers, magnificent diving spots... A trip to the Philippines will trigger a range of emotions and sensations. &nbsp;From the effervescence of Manilla to the hikes nestled within the territory, the change of scene is stunning! Are you ready for your next trip to the Philippines?

The Philippines

Manila

The gateway to the central mountains of northern Luzon, this student city has an eternally spring-like climate and makes for an enjoyable place to visit.

Baguio City

Luzon is the largest of the 7000 islands that make up the Philippines. Mountains, volcanoes, white beaches, tropical forests and an urban jungle - Luzon Island's diversity is mind-boggling.

Lying very close to Negros, Cebu et Bohol, the island of Malapascua, remains a secret, lesser known place; has yet to be discovered by mass tourism, and provides an experience of what Southeast Asia was like in the days before there were so many travellers touring the area.

Malapascua is a magical place- an Eden for Christians, Jannah for Muslims, Nirvana for Buddhists - in an area with a perimetre of just two and a half miles, we saw great contrasts and a variety of different kinds of people with very diverse interests. In general, the travellers who come here do so for one very specific reason, for diving. I got to see thresher sharks myself, and that alone was worth the visit.
The island's inhabitants live in small communities and earn their living from the traditional activities of fishing and agriculture. What they do above all, however, is live their lives with permanent smiles on their faces. There are also small numbers of visitors to be seen on the island too. They come here in search of wonderful places to relax, unwind and distance themselves from civilisation, at spots such as Small Beach and Bambu Beach.
If you want to see how Filipinos really live, head for the centre of the island, where you will find clear examples of two of their passions: basketball and karaoke. It was here that I first saw something which I found enchanting; children playing basketball in flip-flops … eat your heart out Michael Jordan!
