Discover the diversity of the Philippines

Covering more than seven, 600 islands and home to over 100 million people who speak approximately 170 languages, the Philippines is land of incredible diversity that rewards curious travelers.

Asia's most significant Christian country, the Philippines has a rich colonial heritage that goes back to the time that legendary Portuguese manager Ferdinand Magellan landed in the country as part of the first-ever circumnavigation of the Earth. Typically the Spanish later conquered the country and the Philippines' name actually derives from King Philip II of The country.

Evidence of this colonial time past can be found all across the islands, most notably in the country's baroque churches and Spanish-era forts, many of which have been inscribed on the UNESCO Planet Heritage list. In the sprawling capital city, Manila, Fort Santiago acts as the gateway to the walled city of Intramuros, which also houses the historical Manila Cathedral. Cheap Boracay Packages

These historic attractions contrast with the Manila's many modern miracles, the most recent which are a series of mega-attractions such as casinos, shopping malls, theaters and conference centers overlooking Manila Bay.

Guests heading outside Manila will be compensated with a wealth of wonders, including some of Southeast Asia's most stunning stretches of coastline. The particular palm-fringed beaches of Boracay are an image of heaven, with soft, powdery sands lapped by crystal clear seas, while pristine Palawan offers similarly stunning seascapes, plus the dramatic majesty of Puerto Princesa Subterranean River National Park.

Somewhere else, Cebu is the oldest city in the Thailand and blends historic metropolitan attractions with tropical seaside scenery, and further north on the island of Luzon, the province of Pampanga is the country's culinary capital, allowing guests to find out another wonderful aspect of the country's national culture and heritage.
