Enjoy Hiking in the Philippines
By:JessicaAckerman <Show E-Mail>

The Philippines is a very beautiful area with many great opportunities for walking, hiking and enjoying the outdoors. Although most areas in the country offer great hiking opportunities, there are some especially beautiful areas that you shouldn't miss if you are planning a weekend hiking outing. Some of these areas include wildlife sanctuaries and national parks, while other areas are simply scenic areas that offer a lot of opportunities for hiking. When hiking in the Philippines, you should allow yourself plenty of time, because you will also find plenty of scenery and interesting sights that you will want to take the time to see.

Siquijor Island
This beautiful island has many great opportunities for hiking and walking. There are plenty of sandy beaches, numerous natural springs, and area attractions that are interesting to see as you walk through the area. There is also the Cantabog Cave which can be quite interesting to explore, and Mount Bandilaan for those who enjoy a bit of climbing. You will find that this island is inhabited by extremely hospitable people who are always happy to welcome visitors to their island.

Ifugao and Mountain Provinces
Located in the Luzon mountain ranges, this area is a great location for hiking and backpacking. There are many paths that one can take to explore the area's many caves, some of which feature stalagmites. You will also be able to enjoy the scenery and take in a bit of the local culture and way of life for the residents of the area as you hike.

Davaco City
The Davaco City area is also a wonderful spot for walking, enjoying the scenery, and hiking. There are still many areas of unspoiled natural beauty in this region. However, there has also been quite a bit of development in the area. The local residents are very friendly, and you can enjoy walking through the hilly mountain area on the many paths, or enjoy a stroll on the white sandy beaches.

Sagada, Mountain Province
This remote and beautifully exotic area offers many different opportunities for those who enjoy the outdoors. You can explore the many caves with the assistance of a local guide, or take a hike along an underground river. You can also travel from Sagada to nearby Banaue, where there are also many opportunities to hike while viewing the beautifully interesting rice terraces. These terraces, tucked into the mountains, are often surrounded by beautiful waterfalls and lush forests. In addition to the numerous trails and walking paths that you can find, the scenery is some of the most beautiful and interesting that you will find anywhere. The many trails exist because the locals use them during their daily travels. However, they are always happy to share their paths with visitors who wish to view their beautiful area. If you do some advanced planning and map out the area, you can take an extended hike that could lead to neighboring areas. You could even hire a jeep to take you to some of the further locations, which will save more time for viewing the sights.
