Moving down
south from North Luzon is none other than South Luzon with its many rich
offerings for an unforgettable trip to the Philippines. Tourists to this
southern part of Luzon will not be disappointed, as there are many wonderful
places to visit. Some of the not-to-be-missed destinations include Bicol
and the country's capital, Manila.
Bicol
At the southern
extent of Luzon lies the Bicol region. It is a peninsula of diversity,
punctuated by Mount Mayon. The Mount is still active and is perhaps the
world's most perfectly shaped volcano.
One can find
the world's tiniest fish swimming in a lake near the most perfectly shaped
volcano on earth. Divers will have a whale of a time diving in the islands,
offshore of magical and enchanting region of Bicol. With its offering
of some of the whitest beaches and the clearest coral-reefed, it is no
wonder this place is so popular among tourists.
Manila
Manila, the
country's capital is on the southern end of Luzon. This city of many striking
contrasts is chaotic and filled with bizarre vignettes. Like most capital
cities in the world, Manila is not short of glass and steel skyscrapers
as well as concrete images of past heroes. A bustling city of many activities,
Manila has many attractions to offer tourists. Its unique combination
of past influences has helped create a city of both old and new from ancestral
churches to the latest shopping mall.
For those
who doesn't mind the noise nor the busyness that a big city has to offer,
Manila is the ideal place to visit. Today, this city is a fast growing
cosmopolitan with countless opportunities and possibilities for the adventurous
tourist. Eight cities and nine municipalities have been developed and
added with the original Intramuros for the new Metro Manila.
