Philippines: A Kaleidoscope of Nature's Bounty

One of the beautiful things about traveling is that it not only introduces us to destinations but the experiences we gathered in visiting that historic, surprising, and wonderful place. We think we all have a beautiful home in our minds. We have a wonderful place that made me happy a lot of times, years ago.
You've probably heard all about Thailand, Cambodia, and Indonesia, but how about the Philippines? With approximately 7,197 islands in the Philippines, it's's kind of hard to decide on the best places to visit!

Be ready because here is the list of top 5 tourist spot destinations in the Philippines. 

               explore, journey, discover and adventure.

1. Boracay

Puka Shell Beach is on the tip of the island and is a favorite spot for shell collectors. Cagban Beach is a quiet spot with nearby caves that are rumored to still contain treasure chests. Diniwid Beach is a tiny beach at the north end of White Beach that has the best view of the island from a platform rock located there. This island is known for its many resorts, so finding a place to stay is comfortable. For a panoramic view of the island, take a day trip to Mount Luho, its highest point.

2. Sagada Mountain Province

Unleash your adventurous side in Sagada! Go hiking, trekking, visit bat caves, and explore hot springs. Visit the hanging coffins in Echo Valley. The locals believe that the dead should be placed in steep crevices so they can begin their journey into the afterlife and be closer to the gods.  Go caving/spelunking in Sumaguing Cave and be stunned by its rock formations and chest-high waters and swim at Bomod-ok falls or as locals call it ""Big Falls.""

3. Puerto Princesa Underground River

Located on the northern coast of the island of Palawa, Puerto Princesa is a nature lover's paradise. Home to unspoiled landscapes rich in wildlife, this lovely town also lays claim to one of the world's most unique natural phenomena, an underground river known as the Puerto Princesa Subterranean River. Protected within a national park, this natural wonder is the world's longest navigable underground river. Guided paddle boat tours show intriguing rock formations and fluttering bats.

4. Alaminos, Pangasinan

If you can't decide on what island to visit first, you can just go ahead and visit 100 islands here!  Go island hopping to Shell Beach (it has a secret lagoon) and Governor's Island. Jump off a 70-foot cliff and swim to the underwater cave in Governor's Island and Kayak and discover Quirino cave, Nalso cave, Cathedral cave, and St. Paul's Subterranean cave.

5. Playa Tropical Resort
