The Philippines is a vast archipelago of well over 7000 islands, so there’s no doubt that there are a lot of great things to do across this underrated Southeast Asian nation.
Known for its white-sand beaches, beautiful lagoons and excellent dive sites, this is a destination where you can simultaneously relax and adventure every day of your trip.
Walk along the ramparts, visit Manila Cathedral, ride around the cobbled streets in a rickshaw, and soak up the heritage of Manila’s most historic area.
Just south of Manila, you can find the epic Taal Volcano, where you’ll see the curious natural phenomenon of a crater lake in a volcano, which is inside another lake.
