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.

To discover the Bacuit Archipelago, three main trips are offered from El Nido. On the agenda: exceptional lagoons surrounded by karstic cliffs, beaches of fine sand, huge caves, a few areas for snorkelling and other surprises. So, I tried the experience, which unfortunately left me very disappointed. Despite a gorgeous environment, it was difficult to appreciate it in the middle of countless tourists and even genuine traffic jams of bangkas (local boat/outrigger canoe).   The following day, I preferred to hire a kayak to explore one of the first islands in the archipelago. Located approximately twenty minutes from <a href="/philippines/holidays/places/3567-el-nido/">El Nido</a> paddling, this effort was rewarded, as the first beaches were only frequented by a few brave people whilst those afterwards were just as deserted as they were luxurious! Lazing on the beach, a few dives with a mask and snorkel, lunch on a banana leaf... For a dream vacation, Paradise Beach and the beaches afterwards are ideal, but not just those! I made a second trip in the archipelago, which was marvellous this time! The solution: hire a private bangka with some friends, motivate yourselves to get moving early in the morning and insist on not doing the same route as the other tourist boats. In this way, it's paradise!
