25 emerging Philippine tourism hot spots named
MT. KANLAON. Mt. Kanlaon bisects
the Negros Island, and it is also the highest peak in Central Visayas.
This makes it popular among mountain climbers and hikers. The fact that
it is an active volcano adds a certain kind of thrill. Mt. Kanlaon is
truly only for the daring. Apart from trekking, it also has an art
gallery, a zipline, and it also offers river trail adventures. (Photo

MT. PINATUBO. Mt. Pinatubo is no
longer the terror that it was more than two decades ago. It is now a
prime tourist destination which offers various kinds of adventures for
those gutsy enough to go through it. You could trek through Pinatubo’s
Crow Valley Canyon, view its crater through a chartered light aircraft,
visit the Tayawan Caldera, and even get a Pinatubo spa using lahar
sediments left by the eruption.
MT. PULAG. Mount Pulag borders
the provinces of Benguet, Ifugao, and Nueva Vizcaya. It is the
Philippines’ third highest mountain and Luzon’s highest peak. The
mountain hosts more than five hundred plant species. The dwarf bamboo,
for instance, is endemic to the mountain. It also houses several
endangered species of mammals. Mount Pulag is definitely a haven for
nature lovers. (Photo and caption from philippinegems.com)
