Luzon legjobb látnivalói

Editor's Choice

Luzon’s diverse landscape features five UNESCO World Heritage sites, including the 8.2-kilometer Puerto Princesa Subterranean River and the 2,000-year-old Ifugao rice terraces. The region preserves Spanish colonial history through the Baroque churches of Paoay, Santa Maria, and San Agustin, alongside the all-steel Neo-Gothic San Sebastian Church. Natural landmarks range from the active Taal Volcano and Mayon-adjacent Cagsawa Ruins to the limestone formations of Sagada’s Sumaguing Cave and the turquoise waters of Coron’s Twin Lagoon.
