## Itinerary

### Day 1: Manila

Mabuhay welcome to Manila! The metropolis of Manila, widely known as Metro Manila, is the center of business and finance, entertainment, culture, politics, and transportation in the Philippines. Some of the country’s historical tourist spots, dating back over 400 years to the Spanish era, can be found here. Intramuros, the ‘Walled City,’ is Manila’s oldest district and historic center - the original seat of the Spanish colonial government. Just steps away is Fort Santiago, where national hero Dr. José Rizal was held before his execution at Luneta Park. Metro Manila’s social scene is unmatched, with massive shopping malls like SM Mall of Asia (one of Southeast Asia’s largest) and the mid- to upscale bargaining in Greenhills. Dining and nightlife thrive in Greenbelt (Makati), Serendra, and Bonifacio High Street. Upon arrival at Manila airport, you’ll be met by our representative and transferred to your hotel for check-in.

### Day 2: Manila

Spend the day at leisure or choose one of our optional day-tour offerings.

### Day 3: Manila - Banaue

Meet our tour representative in your hotel lobby for the Northern Round-Trip Tour. We’ll thread our way through morning traffic to Dimasalang’s flower market, where every color of bloom lines the stalls. Then north on the expressway across the fertile Central Plains of Luzon: past water-buffalo-dotted fields, herons foraging in rice paddies, and small roadside crafts in Nueva Ecija. Crossing the Caraballo Range via Dalton Pass, you’ll glimpse the Sierra Madre mountains. By afternoon, we reach Banaue - famous for its rice terraces - check in and overnight.
