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.

Perched high up in the mountains, the lovely town of Sagada has buoyant atmosphere. You can get around on foot, enjoy some great restaurants (Lemon Pie House) and access the tourist office, shops and transport links that are all based in the centre of town. It's both easy and practical!  After registering and paying the required 'preservation tax', you can head off on a long walk to the numerous archaeological sites not far from the town. Two sites particularly impressed me: the amazing suspended coffins in Echo Valley and the Lumiang Cave, with its perplexing array of around a hundred wooden coffins placed at its entrance.  Other than that, there are plenty of other activities to enjoy: visiting local villages, long/short hikes and exploring its varied landscapes, be it the waterfall, the rice fields or heading up a mountain. I suggest you arm yourself with a map, ask for advice at the tourist office and then hire a motorbike/moped so you can tour the area as you wish.
