This country is made up of more than 7,000 mountainous islands blanketed with tropical forests. Ships call at the bustling city of Manila, located on the island of Luzon. The best shore excursions include a visit to the walled city of Intramuros, a drive through the countryside to Tagaytay Ridge and Taal Volcano and a trip to Pagsanjan for a canoe ride up the Laguna River to the waterfalls.
