Philippines
The Philippines is a tropical paradise that boasts of stunning beaches, vibrant culture, and a rich history.

One of the must-visit places in the Philippines is the Chocolate Hills of Bohol, a unique geological formation made up of thousands of cone-shaped hills that turn chocolate-brown during the dry season. Visit the Mayon Volcano, a perfectly symmetrical active volcano is one of the most active in the world, and is a popular spot for hiking and trekking.
Another popular destination is the Tubbataha Reef, a UNESCO World Heritage Site that is home to over 600 species of fish and 360 species of coral. You can also swim with Whale Sharks in Donsol. These gentle giants can reach up to 40 feet in length and are a once in a lifetime experience to see.
Take a scenic hike through the Banaue Rice Terraces. These stunning rice paddies are carved into the mountainside and have been in use for over 2,000 years. Lastly, immerse yourself in the local culture in Vigan, a well-preserved Spanish colonial town, complete with cobblestone streets and horse-drawn carriages.
