Luzon - your adventure begins

Luzon, where Metro Manila is situated, is the largest island of the Philippines. Many travelers flying into the Manila International Airport and starting their vacation to one of the countless Tourist destinations around. It is easy to travel to any destination in the Philippine Archipelago from one of the two domestic terminals.

North of Manila lies the summer capital of the Philippines Baguio, its cool air redolent with the scent of pines and flowers. Near this idylic city are the strawberry fields and vegetable farms of Bontoc and the Trinidad Valley, and the splendor of the Banaue Rice Terraces, dubbed the eighth wonder of the world.

Lining the northern coasts are the provinces of La Union, its winding beaches lined with tiny resorts and fishing villages, Pangasinan, with its wondrous Hundred Islands, and sleepy, rustic Ilocos.

Surrounding Metro Manila are provinces as Pampanga, the culinary and entertainment capital of Luzon and the Subic Bay with it's countless World War II shipwrecks.
Moving down south from Manila, the coastal road winds through the historic towns and hundred and one resorts of Cavite. Across the Bay looms the island fortress of Corregidor, a tribute to the last bastion of freedom in the Pacific during World War II.

Further south, the breathtaking length of Tagaytay Ridge affords a view of the world's smallest active volcano, Taal-a volcano within a lake within another volcano. In the towns of Laguna, artists' communities embrace tradition and religiosity under the shadow of the mystic Sierra Madre ranges. Waterfalls, hot healing springs and a general abundance of water resources characterize these fertile plains which circle Laguna de Bay, the largest freshwater lake in Southeast Asia.

Ragged southern coasts make Batangas and Anilao to the birthplace of the Philippine Scuba diving siciety. Sheltered coves and coral islets harbor divesites with stunning underwater scenery. You enter the ferry in Batangas to get to Puerto Galera, the ultimate Scuba diving Mekka of the Philippines
