Best of Cordillera & Palawan

Best of Cordillera & Palawan Overview

Combine the Cordillera culture and history of Manila with the island beauty and raw nature of Palawan. Get active seeing one of the smallest volcanoes in the world, trekking to ancient rice terraces, colorful cliff-mounted coffins, and peeking in a few caves. Then head to Palawan for some serious beach time.

Start in Manila with a bicycle tour of historic Intramuros, peer into the caldera of Taal Volcano, then head north into the Cordillera. Trek to ancient rice terraces, ride into a traditional jeepney, and enjoy the cooler weather of Sagada. Learn about traditional cultures of the north by visiting the weavers of Kalinga before flying south to what some say is the most beautiful island in the world: Palawan. Visit the UNESCO-designated Puerto Princesa Subterranean River then see the island on a journey north to El Nido. The stunning cliffs rising from clear turquoise water are the backdrop for the end of this active holiday.
