Best places to visit in The Philippines

Direction the Philippines! You've chosen the archipelago of 7,000 islands as your next travel destination and you've chosen well. The Philippines inspires dreams and quite rightly so. With stunning beaches, exceptional flora, mysterious mountains and a smiling population, you'll sail from one island to another wishing you never had to leave again. It only remains for you to devise a personal itinerary inspired by the must-see and favourite places of the travellers in the Evaneos community.

Once you arrive in Manila, there are so many beautiful islands to discover and so many outdoor activities, how do you choose? What type of holiday do you envisage?

Do you want to observe the seascape of fauna and flora and enjoy activities linked to the sea? The islands of Cebu and Boholwelcome you with open arms. Or why not head to El Nido and its lagoons of turquoise water bordered by karst cliffs? The region of Visayas is a treasure in this material. A little corner of paradise, the stunning islands ofApo and Coron will delight the most romantic of you. Whilst the adventurers will head towards the Subterranean River National Park or the Monkey Trail on Palawan Island.

Yet the Philippines isn't limited to the beautiful beaches you see on postcards. There are also gorgeous landscapes inland, with terraced rice fields, testament to the Asian influence. As well as volcanoes, some of which are still active, reminding you that you're right in the fire belt of the Pacific. On Luzon Island, Mounts Pinatubo, Tall and Mayon are perfect for hiking and they'll inspire explorers.

The Philippines have been strongly influenced by different cultures and when crossing the region of Mindanao, you'll discover another side of the country, off the beaten track. Authentic and wild, the region attracts those adventurers in search of unexplored lands.
