PHILIPPINES
With 7000 tropical islands, the Philippines is a beach lover's delight – there’s one to suit every taste. Whether you’re looking for a few weeks of sunshine, adventure sports like kayaking through subterranean rivers or diving with amazing marine life – the Philippines has it all.
More Than Just Beaches
Away from the coast there are rice terraces, jungle waterfalls and volcanoes to explore. It's possible to create a tailor-made itinerary that takes in an incredible range of landscapes and terrain.
The Culture
Although part of South East Asia, the Philippines is a land apart – not only geographically but also spiritually and culturally. The country’s overwhelming Catholicism gives this country a Latin American feel - with exuberant town fiestas and centuries-old stone churches.
Friendly People
More recently there's been Americanisation in the form of malls and fast-food chains and English is widely spoken. But the people are proud Filipinos – welcoming, warm and relentlessly upbeat.
