The nest

It is a small town whose name means "nest". Located in the north of Palawan Island. You will find clear water and white beaches. The magnificent Bacuit Bay offers you beautiful limestone cliffs. Due to poor transport accessibility, few tourists come here.

In the north of Luzon is the Cordillera Mountains. Two thousand years old rice fields are hiding and most visitors prefer to stay in Banaue. Interesting fields can be found in inaccessible mountain terrain, which can be reached only on your own. Agricultural land has been cultivated by Ifugao people for thousands of years. For example, the locals will be happy to take you to the Tappiyah Waterfall, where you can also swim.

Sagada

300 km from Manili lies this beautiful town. You can get there on narrow roads through the Kordiler ridges. So there is only minimal tourism. There is an interesting burial tradition where wooden coffins with the remains of the deceased hang on a rock to bring the soul of the deceased closer to heaven. A place with hanging coffins is in the Echo Valley, a few minutes from the town center.
