Places to visit in the Philippines Title: The Philippines' Famous
Tourist Spots |
The Philippine archipelago has lots of attractions and sights to offer tourists of every kind and interest. With the smorgasbord of beauty however, it may be tough to decide which places to see first or what not to miss. Here are some of the most popular tourist destinations tourists may want to include in their itineraries on their visit to the Philippines:
Mayon Volcano - Bicol, Albay Standing at 7,946 feet and
made famous by its near perfect cone shape, Mayon is considered to
be the country's most active volcano, with its last eruption being
in February of 2000. On viewing this majestic mountain, it can get kind of hard to imagine that such a serene landscape could hide a bubbling inferno beneath its tranquil surface. Found near the foot of the volcano, the lonely church steeple at Cagsawa Ruins stand as silent witness to the fury unleashed by the volcano in its most devastating eruption in 1814 which destroyed the towns of Camalig, Cagsawa and Budiao.

Banaue Rice Terraces
- Banaue The Banaue Rice Terraces,
eighth wonder of the world and "stairway" to the heavens. Carved
into the mountain side by the Filipino native Ifugaos, the terraces
are built entirely out of mud and ricks which are fitted tightly to
form the walls of each terrace. January to May are good months to
visit when the rice fields are golden and the tribe prepares for
harvest season. Boracay Island - Panay, Western Visayas
Island activities include kayaking, banana boat riding, jet skiing, scuba diving, snorkeling, beach volleyball, swimming, people-watching, and sunbathing. Night time brings with it lively parties at the beach clubs and discos. Camiguin
The Philippines’ "Garden of Eden" where splendid waterfalls and rich flora and fauna may be found. Tourists will enjoy swimming on the island's many waterfalls and streams or exploring the forests which abound in the area. At night, scores of fireflies twinkle like christmas lights in the forests bringing a fairy-like and magical quality to the whole island.
