It's a wonder that the Philippines has yet to be a major tourist destination, lacking the number of visitors Indonesia and Thailand bring in annually. An archipelago consisting of more than 7000 islands, at certain times of the year it will feel like you have them all to yourself. The typical island boasts a jungle-clad, mountainous interior and a sandy coastline surrounded by aquamarine waters and coral reefs. The Philippines doesn't only offer isolated beaches, adrenaline junkies can find ways to raise their pulse, from trekking in the mountains of North Luzon, to getting airborne on a kite board in Boracay, to spelunking in the cave systems of Samar.
