Labeled as the Pearl of the Orient, as
the name implies, there is so much more to discover from within.
Composed
of more than 7,000 islands, the Philippines will never run out of places
to offer. Its archipelago is divided into
three (3) major areas:
Luzon,
Visayas, and
Mindanao.
Traveling in this country defines a worthwhile vacation that requires only
a low-cost budget. Exploring its exquisite
beaches, mountains, rivers and tropical rainforests, you have a wide
option of activities - from mountain and rock
climbing to golfing, swimming to snorkeling and diving, white-water
rafting to surfing, or simply nature tripping or
lazing around and checking out the various tourists spots in the country
side. While in the city, you can find huge
malls for shoppers of all ranges of interests, along with bars and
restaurants for party-lovers and food enthusiasts.
Aside from the beauty of its landscapes, what makes a tour in the
Philippines more interesting is the history and
culture of every province that you'll explore. Learning the story
behind those mountains and lowlands will make
the visit even more memorable for the tourists. The Filipino culture
is a fusion of Western
and Eastern culture, resulting from the influences of Spaniards, Americans, and Japanese,
its
former colonizers, and the trading and affairs of our ancestors with the other
neighboring Asian countries.
Throughout the year, there are exciting festivals held in
every province, exhibiting the Filipino's values,
creativity, hospitality and blissful nature.
