1. Apuao Island

Now, I'll bring you to one of the unrated paradises in the entire Bicol region - the Apuao Island - one of the  Mercedes Group of Islands small islands. This deserted island has a lot to offer, from the cool and crystal clear emerald waters, wealthy underwater, breathtaking landscape, tranquility and relaxing ambiance, and, of course, the good people. Travel time is about 7 to 8 hours from Manila to Mercedes via private van, but I was able to see and experience that remarkable beauty.

About the Hanging Coffins

The Hanging Coffins of Sagada are a unique burial tradition of the Igorot people, specifically the Kankanaey tribe. Instead of burying the dead underground, the locals placed coffins on high limestone cliffs in Echo Valley, believing it brought the dead closer to the ancestral spirits. Some coffins date back hundreds of years and are still visible today.
