ACL members’ tour with a German, French and English-speaking tour guide.
If there are still paradises on Earth, the Philippines certainly count among them. Discover the culturally rich highlands in the north of Luzon, with their lush green rice terraces and picturesque mountain villages. There, you’ll immerse yourself in the lives of the local mountain communities and learn about centuries-old traditions. Palawan, in contrast, enchants with its idyllic island landscapes, powder-white beaches, and fascinating underwater world—a true paradise for snorkelers and lovers of dreamy beaches! Your journey begins and ends in Manila, the vibrant capital of the archipelago.
The most popular travel season for the Philippines is from November to April, when rainfall is at its lowest. The weather is especially pleasant between December and February, typically offering sunny days, blue skies, and comfortable temperatures. The rainy season usually begins in June, and typhoons may occur from August to October. Travel during this period is only possible to a limited extent.
