The most historical and naturally beautiful parts of the Philippines.

1. The Philippines:
The Golden Archipelago

2. Arguably one of the most geographically unique archipelago
countries in the world, The Philippines proudly boasts over
seven thousand islands across four seas that neighbor
countries such as Malaysia, Indonesia and Taiwan to the
north. Connected with both Spanish and American cultural
influence, tourists are able to experience these aesthetic
qualities in relation to language proficiency, culinary variety
and entertainment.

3. Known as the financial or
business district in Manila,
Makati hosts the city’s most
lavishly expensive hotels
and shopping malls that
have been attracting
foreigners from all over the
world for decades. Similar to
Japan or Thailand, street
food is a fundamental way to
familiarize yourself with the
local cuisine, so quick bites
such as “toron” (or fried,
sweet bananas in filo dough)
or “lechon” (roasted pig) are
casual, local favorites for
many in the area.

4. In terms of experiencing the
Spanish colonization side of
Manila, Fort Santiago
provides a historical
glimpse into European
architecture with respect to
the Philippine capital’s
diverse past. Previously
used as a prevalent Spanish
stronghold for the country,
this fort is an accurate
illustration of the ever
changing significant
cultural mixture that is
persistently affecting the
country’s society.

6. If you happen to have an extra
day or two in the capital,
another historical landmark to
visit is the UNESCO’s world
heritage site called San
Agustin’s Church. The Manila
Hotel, which was constructed
during the beginning of the
20th century in the year 1912,
continues to be a popular
culture symbol because of the
famous guests such as John F
Kennedy, The Beatles and John
F. Kennedy who were all
infatuated with the its charm.

8. Only an hour flight south of Manila, Palawan offers
the more well known, paradise looking side of the
Philippines that has gained popularity in recent
years as a tourist attraction. Full of spas, private
resorts and water villas Palawan offers crystal blue
water accompanied with rocky cliffs that will have
you journey through the stunning timelessness
which has marked this province as the top nature
spot of the country.

11. Its remoteness creates an intimate relationship with nature that will
definitely be a long-lasting memory for you and other fellow travelers that
truly enjoy immersion deep within transparent crystal blue waves.
