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?

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.

For many tourists, Balicasag is the epitome of an island paradise: fine sandy beaches, and a marine wildlife sanctuary visited by an endless succession of divers, snorkelers … and turtles (thankfully).
However, and even though this is an incredible place, the enjoyment it provides is spoiled by the dozens of boats you see just off the coast due to all the divers and snorkeling enthusiasts (of whom, admittedly, I was one myself). Furthermore, I observed people feeding the fish in order to attract them in large numbers in the marine sanctuary.
Perhaps because I have actually experienced a deserted island, or at least one with very few tourists, I would describe Balicasag not as a place worth spending much time at but instead as a recommended place to visit if you want to go diving during your trip to the Philippines.
