Top Highlights

  • IntramurosEleven days across three islands — rice terraces two thousand years old, hills that turn brown in the dry season, and a surf town.
  • CordilleraThe overnight bus is the normal way and it saves a day.
  • ManilaAn unavoidable transfer day.
  • Chocolate HillsThe hills are limestone, about twelve hundred of them, and they go brown in the dry season which is where the name comes from.
  • BalicasagBalicasag has a resident sardine ball and green turtles on the drop-off.
  • General LunaSiargao was a fishing island until surfers found Cloud 9 in the eighties.
  • Jacking HorseCloud 9 is a reef break for experienced surfers only.
  • Sohoton CoveSohoton is entered through a cave mouth that only clears at low tide, so the whole day runs off the tide table.

Did this over 11 days and it was the best walking I've done in years.

Cordillera and Visayas in the right season is something else, and the team knew exactly where to camp. Sleeping under canvas at that height is cold work and the kit was up to it. Food was plentiful and hot, which counts for a lot at altitude. Good value for what's included.

Cordillera and Visayas in the right season is something else, and the team knew exactly where to camp. The campsites were well chosen — sheltered, and close enough to water. Good value for what's included.

Well organised from the pickup onwards. The daily distances were honest about what they'd be. Camp was pitched and the kitchen going by the time we walked in each evening. The team read the group well and adjusted without making a thing of it.

The route is beautiful and the pacing was sensible — nobody was rushed on the climb.
