It is a great encouragement for all those people who love to see new places about a certain place in the Philippines in which everyone will love to see and experience. I am talking about the province of Pangasinan where the country’s first national park is located. I am referring to the Hundred Islands.
The National Park of Hundred Islands is located particularly at Brgy. Lucap, Alaminos City, Pangasinan. It is one of the 100 point agenda of Mayor Hernani Braganza during his mayorship in the said town.
It was then transferred to the city government of Alaminos when the national government had seen that the city can now take good care of the said park.
It is now referred by many as the goodness of the Promise land as stated by many tourists. With its perfect clear scuba diving spot, Lucap Sea is now the world’s capital of scuba diving. Everyday, hundreds of tourists come and visit Hundred Islands.

Boracay Island and its beaches have received awards numerous times. Boracay was awarded in the “Travelers’ Choice 2011″ by TripAdvisor as the second best beach (out of 25) in the world. Boracay made a debut appearance on the Top 10 Islands list in the Travel + Leisure travel magazine World’s Best Awards 2011, ranking fourth.
Without a shadow of a doubt, this tropical island paradise has one of the best and most beautiful beaches in the world. Boracay Island has been nominated several times as the NUMBER ONE Tropical Beach in the world. It has two major tourism beaches namely White Beach and Bulabog Beach. Regarded as a world-class tourist spot and among the Top 10 tourist attractions, travel destinations, vacation hotspots and most visited places in the Philippines, Boracay’s two main beaches are venues to a host of leisure activities such as windsurfing, kiteboarding, kitesurfing, scuba diving, snorkeling, swimming, beach-side nature walking, sunbathing, beach volleyball, golf, and other recreational sports. Although Boracay Island is 200 miles south of Manila, there are two airports serving Boracay Island traveling by air and the option to travel by sea with ferries. Don’t take my word for it, just go and experience the fun and the breath-taking scenery of this tourist-favorite place.
Snowy weather arrived early this year in many parts of the world. But for retirees, there’s no reason to endure another winter. Once you’re no longer tied to a job, you are free to spend the coldest winter months in a balmier climate, or you could permanently move to a place with better weather.
Yuma, Arizona is the sunniest city in the United States, with the sun shining an average of 90 percent of the time, according to the National Climatic Data Center. This desert city also has the distinction of being the least humid and having fewer days of precipitation than any other U.S. city.
I t’s a city in and the county seat of Yuma County, Arizona, United States. It is located in the southwestern corner of the state, and the population of the city was 77,515 at the 2000 census, with a 2008 Census Bureau estimated population of 90,041.
Yuma is the principal city of the Yuma, Arizona Metropolitan Statistical Area, which consists of Yuma County. According to the United States Census Bureau, the 2008 estimated population of the Yuma MSA is 194,322, though more than 85,000 retirees make Yuma their winter residence.
Near to Yuma, Arizona is the good place of Redding, California where the sun shines an average of 88 percent of the time. Donna White, 71, a children’s librarian, moved to Redding from Ridgecrest, Calif., when she retired in 2005. She hikes every day, year-round, and especially enjoys the Sacramento River Trail, which overlooks California’s largest river. “You can watch the change of the seasons here,” she says. “We also have a river and green trees, grass, and flowers.”
This town, founded in 1872 and situated on the upper reaches of the Sacramento River and on the edge of the Sierra Nevada, is particularly important because of its favorable position as a starting point for numerous excursions into nearby districts: Lake Shasta (its famous caves are only 16mi/25km away), the 14,170ft/4,317m high Mount Shasta (about 6mi/10km away), Whiskeytown Shasta Historic Park with its gold-digging past (6mi/10km) and Shasta Trinity National Forest. Redding is also well-placed traffic-wise being at the junction of several highways: the U.S. 5, which runs south to San Diego via the county capital of Sacramento, the CA 299 to the Pacific coast via Eureka and the CA 44 to Lassen Volcanic National Park.
The Philippines has so many unique destinations to offer for all hiking enthusiasts! As a tropical country blessed with some of the greatest biodiversity in the world, the flora and fauna of our jungles and deep forests are sure to amaze visitors. Entire forests covered in moss, and pristine mountains with yet-unnamed species of pitcher plants and orchids, are just some of the options in our repertoire of destinations. In one mountain, you can actually go up from humid, tropical to arid, temperate forests – another sign of the diversity the Philippine mountains can offer. As part of the Pacific Ring of Fire, we also have some impressive, world-famous volcanoes to scale.
Historically, hikers have usually banded together to form clubs with varying degrees of organization, ranging from the most established ones offering Basic Mountaineering Courses and engaging in environmental advocacies to loose clique of friends called barkadas. However, an emerging trend for the past several years is free climbing as individuals or small groups. Hiking, tramping, trekking, and mountain climbing are known collectively as mountaineering in the Philippines and the term mountaineer is used for anyone who climbs mountains as a recreation.
Angkor Wat Temple lies 6km north of Siem Reap by good road. It can be visited throughout the year between sunrise and sunset for the basic cost of an entrance ticket [single day US$20] and local transportation. The temple is usually combined with visits to other nearby Angkor temples.
As the world’s largest religious building and an architectural wonder Angkor Wat temple gets overun with coachloads of tourists at peak times. Most guidebooks and temple guides continue to follow an established route and timing of visit so concentrating the crowds into certain places at key times of the day. Our researchers will plan your visit to the temples quite differently over your stay for the optimum elements of lighting and crowd avoidance as determined by our research programs. Other organisations guess at the best routes and timing; we take the time to measure crowd flows, test itineraries and understand the best program for any given season.
There is more to Siem Reap than Angkor Wat and more to Cambodia than Siem Reap. Historical and photogenic forest temples, lifestyles in the countryside, villages and fishing communities, the birdlife of the Tonle Sap lake and the mountains – we take the time to understand your interests and will produce an optimum tour itinerary to suit you.

Hi everybody–
 This is the end of what is recognized by the (Forest) Regulatory Agencies as Marbled murrelet nesting season. Marbled murrelets are sea-going birds that nest in the high branches of old growth Redwood trees (and maybe old Doug Firs). So, this is the time of year when Pacific Lumber goes into particular ancient forest areas to cut the murrelet’s habitat. Please keep that in mind and look for alerts regarding forest defense actions. One
such home area for murrelets is (in trees) near Nanning Creek (tributary
of the Eel River). There are currently treesits that protect some 600-1500 year old trees!

Fort Santiago is a famous historic Spanish fortress in which once stood the palace of the Muslim chieftain, Rajah Suleiman before the Spaniards ever set foot on Philippine soil. This fort is a very significant site in the history of the Philippine independence from Spain. Jose Rizal, the national hero of the Philippines was imprisoned here and spent his last night before being executed in 1896. The fort has a museum containing Spanish artifacts, wares, documents and other historic articles. Within the fort is Rizal Shrine which houses the utensils, garments, shoes, housewares, kitchen wares, books, manuscripts, drawings, artworks, artifacts and other objects used and worn throughout the life of the genius and multi-talented Philippine national hero.
The location of Fort Santiago was once the site of a wooden fort of Rajah Sulaiman, a Muslim chieftain of pre-Hispanic Manila. It was destroyed by the conquistadors (Martin de Goiti) when, upon arriving in 1570, they fought several battles with the Islamic natives. The Spaniards built the Fuerza de Santiago and the fortified city of Intramuros in 1571, and made Manila the capital of the Philippines.
