In my 6 years I have travelled alot around Luzon, but i will start w two. Being Australian living in Manila I get serious outdoor withdrawals 😊
Puerto Galera:
A small island, reachable by a 1 hour boat trip from Batangas. Untouched beauty and friendly locals. Best for sleeping, swimming, water activites or "Tambay" (sitting for long periods in chill mode)
Illicos:
A 12hr hour car trip from Manila or 1hr flight, this place is a must do. Allow several days if not a week to enjoy it fully. Relaxed, orderly and clean surrounded by untouched nature. Home to some of the oldest churches in the country with plenty to see and do. And eating street food is recommended! Share yours!
