Landmarks

Hey fellow adventurers! Today we’re talking about popular landmarks in the Philippines. If I leave out a landmark you like, please let me know in the comment section below!

Puerto Princesa Subterranean River National Park

The Puerto Princesa Subterranean River National Park is a protected area located in the Saint Paul Mountain Range on the western coast of the island. It is a popular tourist site. The entrance to the subterranean river is a short hike or boat ride from the town Sabang. It was classified by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) as a World Heritage Site in 1999.

Rizal Park

Rizal Park is a historical urban park located in Manila. This leisurely spot is a major tourist attraction and one of the largest urban parks in Asia. The area was officially renamed Rizal Park in honor of José Rizal, and the monument enshrining his remains serves as the park’s symbolic focal point. The Declaration of Philippine independence from the United States was held here on July 4, 1946, as well as several political rallies.

Rizal Shrine

The Rizal Shrine is a reproduction of the original two-story, Spanish-Colonial style house in Calamba where José Rizal was born on June 19, 1861.

Banaue Rice Terraces

The Banaue Rice Terraces are 2,000-year-old terraces that were carved into the mountains of Ifugao in the Philippines by ancestors of the indigenous people. Often compared to the seven wonders of the world, it’s believed that they were built mostly by hand about 5,000 feet (1,500 meters) above sea level. They are fed by an ancient irrigation system from the rainforests above the terraces. It is said that if the steps were put end to end, it would encircle half the globe.

MacArthur Landing Memorial National Park

MacArthur Landing Memorial National Park is a protected area of the Philippines that commemorates the historic landing of General Douglas MacArthur in Leyte Gulfat the start of the campaign to recapture and liberate the Philippines from Japanese occupation on October 20th, 1944. It was declared a national park on July 12th, 1977 through Letter of Instructions No. 572 signed by President Ferdinand Marcos.

Taal Lake and Taal Volcano

Taal Volcano is the second most active volcano in the Philippines with 33 historical eruptions. It is also located in a lake, which has another lake inside of it, with an even smaller island inside of that lake.

Mayon Volcano

Mayon Volcano is an active volcano that is renowned as the “perfect cone” because of its symmetric conical shape. It was declared a national park on July 20th, 1938 and renamed as Mayon Volcano National Park in 2000.

Chocolate Hills

The Chocolate Hills are a geological formation in the Bohol province of the Philippines. The mountains get their name from the grass turning brown during the dry season. They have been declared the Philippines’ third National Geological Monument and proposed for inclusion in the UNESCO World Heritage List.
