The Philippines is a must-see destination and is ideal for the gap traveller seeking adventure off the usual Asian tourist trail. Made up of over 7000 tropical islands, you can island-hop to your heart's content and soak up stunning scenery, from magical mountains to beautiful beaches and cultural getaways. Manila is the buzzing and modern capital city, and don't miss the unusual hanging coffins and adventure activities in Sagada, or the beautiful rice terraces of Banaue. Relax in paradise on idyllic islands, with turquoise waters and white-sand beaches or get cultural with a hill trek and homestay. Whatever you're searching for on your gap year, you'll find the answer to your prayers in the Philippines!
