Mindanao, the second-largest island group in the Philippines, is a paradise of raw landscapes, majestic mountains, waterfalls, white sand beaches, and rich cultural diversity. Often overlooked, it offers authentic experiences for off-the-beaten-path travelers and nature enthusiasts.
Mindanao is the second largest island in the Philippine Archipelago, composed of 27 provinces, and situated in the Southern part of the country.
