Philippines

The Philippines, situated off the coast of Southeast Asia, is an archipelago of 7,100 islands divided into three main regions: Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao. Luzon, the largest island and the location of the capital city, Manila, anchors the northern part of the country. In the central region, Visayas is renowned for its stunning beaches, featuring pristine waters and fine, powdery white and coral-hued sands. To the south lies Mindanao, an area characterized by its dramatic mountains and dense, lush rainforests, rich in diverse cultures. Among its many highlights are world-famous destinations such as Boracay Island, Siargao, El Nido, and Coron in Palawan.
