#holidayvacation Maria Cristina Falls is the second-highest waterfall in the Philippines, as is found in the suburbs of Iligan City on Mindanao Island. It’s the star landmark of the host city, which is part of the reason why it’s known as ‘the City of Majestic Waterfalls’. There are over 20 waterfalls in the area, but the Maria Cristina Falls is the grandest. #givethanks#springholiday#2019firsttravelpic#instagramworthydestinations#decembertravel#holidayvacation

Tinago Falls

#holidayvacation Philippines is reputable for its pristine beaches, there’s nothing like discovering its best-kept secrets and unspoiled beauty. Tinago Falls is one of the many hidden natural treasures that the county has. Tucked within a ravine in Iligan City in Lanao del Norte, this majestic waterfall is the main tourist attraction of the province and also serves as a water source for residents near the area. Its name Tinago Falls in Filipino means “hidden” that perfectly fits its location that one can only reach by descending some 500 steps. The 240 feet high waterfalls will evoke oohs and aahs and so much awe from anyone who will visit it for the first time. It is surrounded by colossal rock structures dotted by thick masses of trees and natural foliage. Despite this towering scene, what lies at the bottom of the falls leaves visitors in even greater astonishment. #merryxmas #merrychristmas#scenicspotguide#nyedestinations#decembertravel#instagramworthydestinations#holidayvacation#merryxmas#awesomepic

Calauit Island National Park

Calauit Safari Park, formerly known as Calauit Game Preserve and Wildlife Sanctuary, is a 3,700-hectare land that is known for the thriving population of giraffes and zebras. Established on August 21, 1976, this park was an initiative of President Ferdinand Marcos during his regime when he brought the African wildlife from Kenya all the way to the lone island of Calauit in Busuanga. The zebras and the giraffes were more unconcerned to tourists. It was noticeable how they were oblivious to our presence. Neither could these creatures ignore the temptation brought by their food. The park gave us the opportunity to feed the giraffes. As the tour guide handed over a handful of branches to us, the gentle giants approached us and bent over their necks to reach for the leaves. It was a brief encounter with them. #newyearstrip#newphotographer#travelinspiration#springholiday#merrychristmas#scenicspotguide#unforgettableexperiences#nyedestinations#decembertravel#instagramworthydestinations#holidayvacation#tripinspired#happynewyear

Old Spanish Church Ruins

Sometimes called the Old Church Ruins, the Guiob Church Ruins or locally known as Ruins of Old Spanish Church was what was left from the old church of the island’s Spanish era capital called Cotta Bato. It was constructed in the 16th century but it met its destruction a century later. On May 13, 1871, the capital’s peace was rattled by an intense trembling of the ground brought about by the rumbling of a nearby volcano, Mt. Vulcan. The earthquake shook the town mercilessly until houses and other structures were down to rubble. But that wasn’t the end of it. That evening, Mt. Vulcan unleashed its most devastating power when it erupted and destroyed what was left of the town. #newyearstrip#newphotographer#christmastrip#travelinspiration#springholiday#2019firsttravelpic#decembertravel#instagramworthydestinations#couplestrip#wintergetaway#tripinspired#happynewyear

White Island

It was a constant invitation. The stunning White Island was within view from Paras Beach Resort, where I stayed. Even during lunch, I couldn’t help but be hypnotized by this inviting stretch of white sand not very far from the resort’s beachfront. It wasn’t long until we finally gave in and allowed ourselves to be drawn to this naked, sparkling sand bar. More commonly known as White Island, Medan Island (or Medano Islet) is 10 minutes away from the northern coast of Camiguin. In Barangay Yumbing, boat rentals are available for P480. Resorts also offer their own day tours to this pristine, powdery paradise. Although it often looks like a boomerang, the island’s shape changes according to the tides. It is uninhabited and there are no permanent concrete structures here — no houses, no towers. Even trees are absent here. It’s just a beautiful dump of fine sand with Mt. Hibok-hibok and Mt. Vulcan as the backdrop. When we arrived, however, there was a tent under which sat a man, who had been renting out big umbrellas to tourists for P50. To be on the safe side, don’t forget to bring hats, sunglasses, and sunblock, of course. #newyearstrip#newphotographer#christmastrip#travelinspiration#givethanks#merrychristmas#scenicspotguide#nyedestinations#decembertravel#instagramworthydestinations#holidayvacation#wintergetaway#merryxmas#awesomepic

Paseo del Mar

People in the Philippines like to celebrate Christmas for as long as possible! The playing of Christmas carols in shops can start in September! The formal Christmas celebrations start on 16th December when many people go the the first of nine pre-dawn or early morning masses. The last mass is on Christmas day. The Christmas celebrations continue to the First Sunday in January when Epiphany or the Feast of the Three Kings is celebrated. In the Philippines the early masses held before Christmas are called the 'Misa de Gallo' or 'Simbang Gabi' in Filipino. Most Filipinos are Christians with about 80% of people being Catholics. It's the only Asian country with so many Christians. Because of this, Christmas is the most important holiday in the Philippines. #newphotographer#christmastrip#travelinspiration#2019firsttravelpic#merrychristmas#scenicspotguide#unforgettableexperiences#nyedestinations#decembertravel#instagramworthydestinations#holidayvacation#wintergetaway#merryxmas#awesomepic

Coral Cove is a tiny bay with coarse reddish sand. The beach here is very clean: there are no bottles and old palm branches beneath your feet. On the left and on the right there are gigantic boulders growing right from the sand, like frightening guards, protecting an access to the bay from the sea. In glades between the boulders you can find hiding places to get away from strangers sight in this by far secluded oasis. The slope of the bed is quite considerable, the depth surges sharply, and you will be covered with water only within a couple of meters distance from the shore. G reat fans of swimming and deep sea should definitely like Coral Cove. It is exciting to swim here, and ten meters away from the shore you will reach a considerable depth. #newyearstrip#newphotographer#christmastrip#travelinspiration#givethanks#merrychristmas#scenicspotguide#unforgettableexperiences#nyedestinations#decembertravel#instagramworthydestinations#holidayvacation#wintergetaway#merryxmas#awesomepic

Woo Cafe-Art Gallery-Lifestyle Shop

When shopping, scrumptious and extremely good food and arts meet. It is absolutely the definition of heaven, and that made possible by Woo Cafe, Art Gallery and Lifestyle Shop. Cause this place is a riverside, three-in-one stop for delicious meals, contemporary art and perhaps a bit of shopping. The stylish, modern cafe specialises in Thai food, salads and freshly baked goods, but the menu is enormous and also includes every imaginable beverage. Edgy art adorns the walls, and regular exhibitions feature a rotating crop of Thai artists. Their salad on the first photo is my favorite food their. I just forgot the name but make sure to try everything their as everything is definitely worth the penny. #2019firsttravelpic#instagramworthydestinations#unforgettableexperiences#scenicspotguide#springholiday#newyearstrip#deliciousfood#couplestrip#holidayvacation#wintergetaway#merryxmas#awesomepic

Tuasan Falls

Tuasan Falls isn’t the tallest waterfalls on the island of Camiguin in the Philippines but even so, I was impressed by its powerful water flow. Surprisingly, we came across Tuasan by chance while we were cruising along the highlands of Camiguin. Tuasan Falls is located in the middle of the mountains. And just a few steps away from the parking area. Basically, this fall can be easily accessed by anyone. It was very beautiful and the water is so refreshing. if you come across to this island better visit this wonder. #newyearstrip#givethanks#2019firsttravelpic#scenicspotguide#unforgettableexperiences#nyedestinations#instagramworthydestinations#couplestrip#holidayvacation#wintergetaway#merryxmas#awesomepic

Thailand is one of the most popular travel destinations in the world. Twenty years ago it was considered 'daring' to travel to Thailand. Times have certainly changed. From the majestic five-star hotels in Bangkok to simple beach huts in Koh Samui or Koh Samet, accommodation choices are many. From the stunning plains and hills of the Golden Triangle to the wave-lapped white sand beaches of Phuket, Samui and Krabi, the kingdom radiates beauty. Thailand has so much to offer that one visit is never enough you'll want to come back and discover more time after time. #travelinspiration#merrychristmas#2019firsttravelpic#scenicspotguide#unforgettableexperiences#nyedestinations#decembertravel#instagramworthydestinations#deliciousfood#couplestrip#holidayvacation#merryxmas#awesomepic
