Summary
Dive into the Philippines' buzzing capital city with a five-day adventure that hits both city sights and countryside highlights. Travel out of Manila for an overnight hosted by an Indigenous community, where you'll get to cook it up alongside your hosts after hiking to an epic waterfall. Head back to the city and sample insanely good bites in Manila's Chinatown on a foodie tour. The gateway to both Northern and Southern Philippines, this Manila adventure is the perfect compact intro.
Itinerary
Day 1
Manila
Arrive at anytime and dive right into the bustling city life of Manila. There's nothing planned today until your Welcome Meeting at 17:00 this evening, so spend the day how you'd like. Manila is the biggest, brightest and liveliest city in the Philippines so start your adventure off on a high note by exploring the neighborhood near your hostel.
Day 2
Manila/Mount Purro
After breakfast in Manila, travel with your group to Mount Purro Nature Reserve, a G for Good project. You'll be greeted by your local hosts for the next 2 days before heading out on an afternoon jungle waterfall hike and swim. In the evening, join the local Dumagat people to cook over the bonfire. Together, learn to make rice and Filipino tom yum soup over the fire in bamboo before sitting down to dig in to the meal together.
Day 3
Mount Purro/Manila
We know it's early but you don't want to miss this. Wake while it's still dark for a hike up to the peak of Mount Purro for an amazing view of the sunrise. Take it all in, maybe a selfie or two, before hiking back down. Enjoy breakfast at the reserve and enjoy your final jungle moments. Late morning, we'll drive back to Manila and enjoy some free time in the city.
Day 4
Manila
In the morning, choose to visit many must see points around the city like Fort Santiago, Manila Cathedral and Postigo del Palacio. Or just take it easy and have a wander around Makati. In the evening, hop in a legendary Filipino jeepney and eat your way through Chinatown. It's known as the culinary center of the Philippines, so try their street food - a blend of typical Chinese and Filipino food.
Day 5
Manila
Say goodbye to your fellow Roamies and depart at any time.
