Trekking
Almost every Philippine island is rich in hiking trails, which steer trekkers away from the popular tourist spots to access spectacular waterfalls and primeval forests, and guided treks to Philippine villages and hill tribes offer a candid view of typical Philippine life. The rice terraces of North Luzon around Bontoc and Kalinga are a must for many visitors, as is summiting at least one volcanic peak - guided tours of the country’s highest mountain, Mount Apo (2954m) in Mandanao, and the legendary Mount Pinatubo (1450m), a short drive from Manila, are particularly popular. Expect a significant drop in temperature with increasing altitude and always seek advice before ascending any volcano.
