Luzon

Luzon is the Philippines’ biggest and busiest island, home to its frenetic but fascinating capital, Manila, as well as a host of more serene destinations and scenic highlights. Once you’ve had your fill of the city’s offbeat cafes, trendy markets and historical sites, there is plenty to explore the rest of the island, admire jaw-dropping highlights and enjoy a wide range of memorable open-air adventures. Trek the perfectly cone-shaped Mount Mayon, the most active volcano in the Philippines, and hand-carved into the steep slopes of Mount Ifugao hundreds of years ago are picturesque and awe-inspiring Banaue Rice Terraces found in bucolic Banaue. Apo Reef is a world-class scuba diving site, while Calaguas Beach lures leisure seekers to its fine white sand and calm azure waters!
