Luzon Essentials

Luzon features a collection of UNESCO World Heritage sites, including the 2,000-year-old Batad Rice Terraces and the Baroque churches of San Agustin and Santa Maria. The island’s geological diversity is represented by the 8.2-kilometer Puerto Princesa Subterranean River, the active stratovolcano of Mount Pinatubo, and the wind-sculpted Kapurpurawan Rock Formation. Cultural landmarks range from the 16th-century Cagsawa Ruins near Mayon Volcano to the traditional Igorot hanging coffins of Sagada and the historical monuments within Manila’s Rizal Park.
