The Philippines is a stunning archipelago, the second largest in the world, which has approximately

7,500 islands, however only 2,000 of them are inhabited and nearly 5,000 still unnamed on global maps, so

still plenty to explore. Luzon is the largest Island, and this is where the Capital Manila is… famous for its

waterfront promenard, ancient walled city and enegmatic nightlife...so do not dismiss the capital in favour of

the famous island beaches.

Although the beaches and watersports in the Philippines are well renowned, those who favour alternative

activities will not be disappointed as trekking rewards participants with outstanding lush green valleys &

smouldering volcanoes, mountain biking is also popular as is Cayoneering…also the Philippines have quite a

few zip lines for the more adventurous.

From the city metropolis to the quiet un-spoilt beaches there are hotels and resorts to suit a range of

requirements and optional activities for those who can pull

themselves away from the beach and views…come take a look at the Philippines...you won’t find a warmer

welcome in Asia.
