top notch destinations worth traveling to.
Traveling in the Philippines is
not (as) tricky as some people may think. Due to its modernized
telecommunication systems and public infrastructure, going from one scenic spot
to another is as easy as 123. To make the trip more memorable and enjoyable,
here are some tips to follow while vacationing in the Philippines.
Be Prepared
Proper planning is a must. Since
you can visit the country any time of the year, look for travel agencies and
luxury resorts that offer great and affordable vacation packages all-year
round. Remember that without careful planning, your trip to the Philippines may
end on a sour note.
Check the Weather
Note that the country can be
prone to earthquakes and typhoons since it is situated in the so-called Pacific
Ring of Fire. So the best times to visit the Philippines would be from Dec to
May. The weather on these months is the most conducive for traveling. Plus,
summer time is the perfect time to enjoy the nation's finest beaches in
Boracay, Batangas, and Palawan. Not to mention the colorful festivals in Aklan,
Cebu, and Iloilo.
Travel Light
It is always best to travel
light. Bring a pair of sturdy shoes and slippers, especially when trekking some
of the breathtaking mountains in the Philippines such as Mount Apo in Davao and
Mount Pulag in Cordillera. Most tourist spots in the country are very much
accessible by public transport vehicles such as buses, jeeps, and tricycles.
Secure Your Valuables
Never leave your valuables -
money, passport, license, jewelries- unattended. Always keep them in a safe
place. Or better yet, have these valuables with you at all times in your
backpack or small handbag.
Enjoy
When in the Philippines, leave
your worries behind; enjoy its rich natural resources and make friends with the
accommodating local folks. Also, don't miss out on the country's delicious
delicacies - from simple rice cakes to exotic dishes. Lastly, do not forget to
bring home trinkets or souvenirs from local shops and shopping centers located
across the nation.
Hopefully, the Philippines travel
tips will make your vacation in the country a safe and memorable one.
