Overview
Discover the wonders of the Philippines- an archipelago of over 7,600 islands located in Southeast Asia. Picture emerald rice terraces, smoldering volcanoes, and colorful jeepneys meet powdery beaches, dramatic limestone cliffs, and secret lagoons.
In the capital, Manila, discover a dynamic blend of modern energy and colonial heritage with its historic walled city, churches, and museums. Then journey to Palawan—with El Nido’s hidden coves, coral reefs, and pristine lakes, and Coron’s turquoise waters and world-famous WWII shipwrecks.
From vibrant cities to breathtaking seascapes, every corner of the Philippines promises lasting experiences.
