Bohol Island’s legendary Chocolate Hills regularly top the travel bucket lists of visitors to
the Philippines.
Sub heading
BOHOL
Key Vocabulary
Eco-friendly Panglao-Bohol
International Airport is the gateway
to Bohol, the island province
famous for its conical Chocolate
Hills. Golden brown in dry season
and luxuriantly green much of the
year, the grass-covered limestone
domes dot nearly 20 square miles
of pancake-flat plains. Climb up to
the viewing platform for Instagram-
worthy shots of the legendary,
rounded mounds.
Bohol’s Sipatan Twin Hanging Bridge is made up of two parallel bridges, one for crossing over the
Sipatan River and one for walking back.
BORACAY
An aerial view of Willy’s Rock, Boracay’s famous volcanic formation, shows how sand
surrounds the island at low tide.
BAGUIO
While the beach scene in the Philippines is
rightfully celebrated, one of the country’s coolest
hotspots is Baguio City, perched high in the
Cordillera mountains. Located at 4,500 feet above
sea level in northern Luzon, the largest island in
the Philippines, lofty Baguio was built in the early
1900s as a colonial summer capital.
The historic city and surrounding countryside
enjoy comfortable temperatures and misty
conditions—ideal for exploring on foot. Hike
through the woods on the winding Camp John Hay
Eco Trail to soak up the pine-scented mountain
air. Wherever you go in Baguio, use the new
Visitor Information and Travel Assistance
(VISITA) platform to get coronavirus-related
information, read QR coupons, and make
contactless payments.
Established in 1903 as a relaxation retreat for U.S. servicemen, Camp John Hay is now a
recreation hub for Baguio City residents and visitors.
This high-elevation Cordillera
Region is the ancestral homeland
of indigenous peoples collectively
known as Igorots, or “people of
the mountain.” To preserve,
support and showcase indigenous
weaving traditions and other
regional crafts, UNESCO named
Baguio a Creative City of Crafts
and Folk Art.
The city regularly hosts festivals
and exhibits celebrating the
region’s multicultural artisan
traditions. To shop for original
hand-crafted works—including colorful textiles, silver jewelry, and carved wooden figurines—visit the
Baguio public market and neighboring Maharlika Livelihood Center.
With its high-elevation location in the Cordillera Mountains of northern Luzon, Baguio
City enjoys comfortably cool temperatures year-round.
PALAWAN
Extraordinarily emerald green
and ringed by coral reefs,
Palawan is an unspoiled
archipelago province in the
westernmost Philippines.
Named for its largest island,
Palawan ticks all the right
boxes for a tropical paradise:
hidden beaches and lagoons,
lush jungle vegetation, low-
key vibe, and crystalline
seascapes teeming with marine
life.
Palawan’s mind-boggling
marine biodiversity is on full
display in Tubbataha Reefs Natural Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Accessible only by live-
aboard boats, the pristine underwater world harbors at least 11 species of sharks and rays, 600 species
of fish, and about half of all coral species in the world.
Sea turtles are among the protected species divers can see in Tubbataha Reefs Natural
Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site in Palawan.
