If you have yet to see the Philippines, then embark now to
what promises to be a trip to paradise! With hundreds of destinations in the
country, here is our latest featured travel destination.
BORACAY
Boracay lies at the northwest tip of Panay,
in the west Visayas region, off the Sibuyan Sea. The island is made up of little
communities: Yapak in the north, Balabag in the middle, and Manocmanoc
in the south. Hilly elevations up to 100 meters above sea level characterize Yapak and Manocmanoc.
Intertwining trails link the small villages together but many sometimes lead
to lush tropical jungles.
To get to Boracay, one has to book a flight to Kalibo, the capital of Aklan
province. Air-conditioned coasters or public buses offer one-hour-and-a-half
drive to Caticlan where one can board a motorized banca for a 30-minute trip to Boracay.
Widely known as one of the finest
swimming destinations in the world, Boracay is
blessed with unsullied fine talcum powder-sand beaches. Its tranquil crystal
clear waters are perfect for swimming, sailing, fishing and sunbathing. Boracay also boasts of sapphire seas and spectacular
sunsets. Countless hidden coves dot the island and tall coconut trees line up
along the beaches.
To explore the island, visitors can
take boat rides or hire a motorbike or a scooter easily. Anyone can also
enjoy horse back riding and hang out in the native villages. Boracay Nightlife pulsates with many bars and restaurants
that stay alive with fun until dawn.
