Upon reaching Manila, our representative will warmly welcome you and facilitate your transfer to the hotel. You can look forward to a pleasant overnight stay at the hotel in Manila.

Day 2: Manila

Start your day with a delicious breakfast before embarking on a tour that begins in the financial district of Makati, then moves on to Fort Bonifacio and the American Cemetery. Your journey will then take you to Manila, the capital of the country. Make a stop at Rizal Park, dedicated to Dr. Jose Rizal, the national hero, for a quick photo opportunity before heading to the historic Walled City of Intramuros.
Explore the cobblestone streets of Intramuros and visit San Agustin Church, the oldest stone church in the country. Admire its vast collection of ecclesiastical icons, vestments, and other religious artifacts. Just across the church is Casa Manila, a replica of a 19th-century house filled with Oriental and European decorations, as well as antique Philippine furniture. Continue your journey to Fort Santiago, a crucial defense structure against sea invaders in Manila. This stone fortress holds a significant place in Philippine history and safeguards the city’s entrance from Manila Bay. After exploring the fort, head to Quiapo, the bustling central district known as the heart of Manila. Immerse yourself in its lively market, the pilgrimage church of the Black Nazarene, jeepney terminals, and bazaars.

Wrap up your day with a visit to the Chinese Cemetery, where grand mausoleums rival actual houses in size and splendor. Witness the fusion of Buddhist and Christian architectural influences displayed throughout the cemetery. Take some time for shopping before returning to your hotel for an overnight stay in Manila.

Day 3: Manila to Bohol

Revel in a satisfying breakfast before being escorted from your hotel to the Domestic Airport for your flight to Bohol. Upon arrival, you will be greeted with a shared transfer to the beach resort. The rest of the day is yours to decompress and rejuvenate. Rest for the night at the hotel in Bohol.

Day 4: Bohol

Start your day with a delightful breakfast before embarking on an exciting day trip to discover the captivating beauty of Bohol. Your first stop is the Philippine Tarsier Foundation in Corella, where you can observe the world’s smallest primate, the tarsier, in its natural habitat. Watch these unique nocturnal creatures showcase their agility as they gracefully move between trees and rotate their heads almost 360 degrees.

Next, head to Baclayon and visit the historic Blood Compact site, where the friendship between Spain’s Miguel Lopez de Legazpi and native chieftain Datu Sikatuna was commemorated with a symbolic drink. Despite damage from a recent earthquake, the church still houses a museum with a vast collection of religious art, ecclesiastical vestments, and church music written in Latin on animal skins.

Continue your journey through the lush Bilar man-made forest, a dense grove of majestic mahogany trees lining the highway towards the renowned Chocolate Hills, a geological wonder of the country. Take a moment at the viewing area to admire the hills, which change color with the seasons. During summer, the hills turn a deep brown, resembling chocolate candy drops, hence the name ‘Chocolate Hills.’ Return to your hotel by late afternoon to spend the night in Bohol.
