El Nido 

Another popular eco-spot on Palawan is El Nido. Though El Nido is referred to as a “town”, it is made up of 45 islands and islets, resorts, caves, cliffs, a bay and waterfalls. CNN Travel named El Nido beaches as the best in the Philippines and described it as a spectacular nature and diving destination .

Sometimes referred to as a “city in the forest”, Puerto Princesa is something of an eco-tourism hub. The Philippines’ “cleanest and greenest city” boasts many beaches and resorts, but its 8km underground river (St. Paul), one of the New7Wonders of Nature, is what makes it truly unique. 

The subterranean waterway is home to stunning caverns, waterfalls and a 300 meter (1,000 ft) cave dome. The surrounding park (a UNESCO World Heritage Site) also features a landscape of limestone karsts and a mountain-to-sea ecosystem containing 8 different tropical forest types.

San Augustine Church , Manila Philippines

Located in Manila, a visit to the San Agustin Church is a must see. Built in 1589, this beautiful church has survived seven earthquakes and two fires over the centuries and now remains as the oldest stone church in the Philippines. At the main entrance, there are exquisite carvings on the wooden doors. Inside the lovely, Mexican-influenced interior is designed in the shape of a Latin cross. The gorgeous ceiling was painted in the 1800s by Italian artists, Giovanni Dibella and Cesare Alberoni.
