There are incredible destinations near Manila. Places you thought could only exist in fantasy…
I’ve been to a lot of incredible places in the world. Off-the-grid destinations that seduce with vivid orange sunsets, bright blue-emerald ocean, and jagged volcanic mountains bursting with exotic greenery. I’ve stood on the cusp of canyons and mountains and gazed into the abyss, watching the landscape change as the sun slid across the sky, extending shadows before dipping below a crisp horizon.
The problem is that incredible destinations usually take a lot of effort. Hours in planes, buses, trains, and vans. But… some of my favourite destinations are incredibly close to Manila Philippines and completely accessible within a day. Some of these destinations are unknown and some are completely hidden. There’s no need to get stuck in the city if you’re short of time. Destinations like these create a once-in-a-lifetime experience and bring us back to nature and clear our cluttered mind.
