 The Mayon Volcano in
the Albay province
on Luzon Island is a
must-see in the
Philippines. It is an
active stratovolcano with
an elevation of more
than 2,400 meters. The
Mayon Volcano has a
perfect cone peak.

Most visitors will want to

enjoy the volcano by
viewing it from the
ground. Nature trails in
the national park
grounds surround the
volcano, where you can
also see wildlife like
parakeets and other
birds.

 The geological wonder on
the island of Bohol known
as the Chocolate Hills is a
unique natural
phenomenon. This
UNESCO World Heritage
site is a protected area
that features more than
1,200 small mountains
that emerged above the
ground over several
centuries.

The area was once under

the ocean, and these
unique hills expand in
every direction. They are
green during much of the
year, but during the dry
season, they turn to a
chocolate-brown color,
thus the name, chocolate
hills.

 Taking a river tour of the
Underground River in Puerto
Princesa is one of the most
awe-inspiring things to do in
the Philippines. The
underground river
on Palawan Island is
inside the Subterranean
River National Park, a
UNESCO World Heritage
site.

The boat tours take you to

experience the majestic
five-mile river that runs
below ground. The trip
takes you through an
intricate cave system
surrounded by vertical
limestone cliffs. You can
observe ancient stalagmite
and stalactite formations as
the coolness of the cave
balances the tropical heat
outside.

 There is no shortage of
pristine beaches in the
Philippines, but if you are
looking for a more active
beach scene, one of the
best places to visit is
White Beach in Boracay.

Plenty of chairs and

hammocks are beneath
the palm trees, so you
can relax and enjoy the
pure white sand. You can
even book a beachside
massage. Snorkeling is a
popular activity at White
Beach, but if you do not
want to put in so much
work, take a banana
boat ride or book a trip
on a glass-bottom boat.

 The group of islands in
Caramoan, Camarines
Sur of Bicol region
earned its worldwide
recognition for being
one of the shooting
locations of the TV
series Survivor.

The islands remain to

be immaculate with
unspoiled white sand
beaches, idyllic
landscapes, and
gorgeous rock
formations. Island-
hopping in Caramoan
Islandsis a must when
you’re in the Bicol
region.

Caramoan, Camarines Sur

 Banaue Rice Terraces in
the mountains of
Banaue, Ifugao is
considered a National
Cultural Treasure site.
The creation of the
terraces dates back to
two millennia ago in the
pre-colonial period and
is one of the most
unique
tourist spots in
Banaue and the
Philippines.
It’s believed that the
2000-year old elevated
rice fields were mostly
done by hand, as
modern farming
equipment were not
available back then.

 Kalanggaman Island is an
idyllic destination in the
town of Palompon, Leyte.
It is popularly known for
its crystalline water,
powder-like white sand,
and long sandbar
extending on both sides of
the island that you can
experience with a
day trip in Kalanggaman
Island. You may also
book a Kalanggaman
Island tour from Cebu.
This appears like a smaller
version of the famous
Boracay Island, but
without restaurants and
resorts lining up its
beachfront. Check out
other Leyte tourist spots
that you should visit while
in this province.

 Bangui Windmills in
Pagudpud, Ilocos Norte is
a wind farm by the beach
that produces sustainable
energy and is responsible
for the province’s
electricity. It’s a stunning
sight because of the
towering windmills with
the unspoiled beach as its
backdrop.

You can visit this by

joining
packaged tours of
Ilocos that include
accommodation at Laoag
hotels. It's also just a
few hours away from
another top destination in
the Philippines, the well-
preserved
heritage city of Vigan.
