The south-east Asian country of the Philippines is unfortunately one of the most over looked. Here are my top 3 reasons to visit this beautiful country.
1. Volcanoes
- The Philippines is an archipelago of more than 7000 islands, with the majority of these being of volcanic origin. There are 37 volcanoes, 18 of them are still active. The three most known are all located on the Northern island of Luzon, Mount Pinatubo, Mount Mayon and the Taal volcano. The mass number of volcanoes, results in large mineral deposits in the country, as well as rare rock formations from the pyroclastic flow.
2. Animals
- The Philippines is home to many tropical animals such as the orange clown fish, Philippine Eagle, whale sharks, varanus, other small lizards, green sea turtles, fruit bat, flying fox, flying lemur, water buffalo's, and the smallest monkey in the world, the Tarsier.
3. Coral & Beaches
- One of the most beautiful beaches in the Philippines is the pristine area of Palawan, also Boracay. Both of these beaches have miles of white sand, and clear blue green waters. Everyone from families to teenage party goers can find something for them at the Filipino beaches.
