5 Travel Tours in the Philippines 2019

3. Philippine Discovery

So far we’ve covered two tours in the Philippines that are more laid back in style. This tour on the other hand offers you a unique opportunity to discover picturesque rice terraces and spectacular mountains of Philippines in an adventurous manner. What should you know about this tour? Make sure you are in a good level of fitness, as this tour includes many energetic activities along the way. Since this trip involves a visit to remote locations in the Philippines, some of the accommodations are basic, such as shared rooms and bathrooms. The rice terraces you are going to visit are very steep, meaning you will have to trek on steep, narrow paths. The noise is an integral part of the scene; be prepared to wake up with the sound of church bells and roosters in the morning. Therefore, Philippine Discovery tour is recommended for adventure enthusiasts in good physical condition looking for new challenges rather than sensitive persons looking for hassle-free comfortable trips.
