Historically speaking, Bataan is one of the provinces that has a huge contribution to Philippine history, politics, or top tourist destinations. This beautiful province belongs to Region 3 known as Central Luzon. It is separated by Manila de Bay from NCR and the province of Cavite. During my visit to the province, I noticed that the people are accommodating and are living in a simple way.
1. Mt. Tarak:
We’re done with the beauty by the waters, let’s check at the higher altitude. The photo above was taken at the Papaya River, one of the beautiful spots in Mt. Tarak. This mountain can be challenging because it is a four to six-hour trek on a jungle terrain. After the tiring trek, nature will reward you with the calming river in the middle of the forest. Plus the fact that this mountain also has gorgeous scenery on the summit. READ: HIKING MT. TARAK
2. Shrine of Valor (Mt. Samat):
Among all the mountains in the Philippines, Mt. Samat has the biggest contribution in Philippine history during World War II. The province holds the records of the Battle of Bataan, including the controversial Death March. Anyways, Mt. Samat is situated in the municipality of Pilar, Province of Bataan, almost three hours travel from Manila. READ: MT. SAMAT AND THE SHRINE OF VALOR
3. Laki Beach
Breathtaking photos of Laki Beach and Five Fingers in Bataan spread online; those were the reasons why we traveled here to celebrate JP's birthday. When we were searching for an itinerary online, we kept on getting stories about Attorney. Who is Attorney?? Until now, already witnessed the beauty but the question remains unanswered. What we remember are the gift, the wealth, the magnificent, and spectacular landscape of Laki Beach and the Five Fingers. READ: LAKI BEACH
4. Bataan White Corals Resort
The other side of Bataan is by the water, so expect a remarkable water experience. The long stretch of shoreline has fine greyish sand, the water is clean and cool, and the sea breeze is totally relaxing because of its freshness. Let’s add beautiful underwater ornaments, such as fish, shells, sea anemones, corals, and many more. We stayed at White Corals Resort. READ: BATAAN WHITE CORALS RESORT
