This is
the ideal tour to start your holiday adventures to the Philippines. Transfer
from the airport in Manila, or your previous travel module, to Angeles City.
You receive an Asian welcome buffet including some drinks. Angeles City had
until 1991 the biggest American airbase outside the U.S.A. The Clark- Airbase
has a very long airstrip. On this airstrip even the Space Shuttle can land. In
the Vietnam-war up to 1,200 flights a day could leave for Vietnam.
The base
is now a big Duty Free Zone, where it is very attractive for shopping. Also
Apo, the big local market, is very nice to visit. We have a ride in a local
Calesa horse and wagon. Angeles City, with its many restaurants, casinos,
karaoke and gogo bars has a very lively night life.
We make
visit to the lahar-fields of the volcano Mount Pinatubo. This volcano had in
1991 the biggest eruption of the last century. Complete cities disappeared
under the lahar ( a combination of sand, dust and lava). You will see the top
of a clock tower of a church above the ground in one of the lahar covered
villages. The Geologic Society predicted the eruption nearly on the hour and a
massive evacuation of the population was ordered. However many people lost
their lives and the complete area changed to a moon landscape.
The
Pagsanjan Waterfalls and the Bumungan River is one of the top tourist
Attractions in the Philippines. Pagsanjan has a beautiful old city gate and a
old Catholic Church. Both are very interesting to visit.
Colorful
kayaks and the skilful boatmen bring us along the Bumungan River, through the
tropical rainforest with its beautiful flora and fauna, a breathtaking scenic
experience.
On this
river they made Coppola’s Vietnam-War-Movie "Apocalypse Now". After
an exciting journey along the river we reach the mighty Pagsanjan waterfall.
Boys pull
us on a raft under the waterfall to the cave behind it. Take care you have some
extra dry clothes, a towel and plastic bag to protect your film and camera. The
Pagsanjan Tour is really a day full of adventure. Back to the hotel in Angeles
City or the starting point of your next travel module.
This tour
is ideal to start your holiday. The "Mindoro Tour" and/or the
"Bicol Express Tour" are excellent to continue with.
