Luzon, the Philippines' largest and most populous island, is located near the country's northernmost tip. It is famed for its mountains, beaches, and coral reefs, and it is home to the national capital, Manila. Luzon is widely known with famous sunsets, several Spanish-colonial sites, national memorials and monuments, a centuries-old Chinatown, and a variety of museums and tourist destinations.

Even though Visayas appears little in comparison to its nearby island groups, this island group shouldn't be overlooked. The Visayas Region is also home to a number of immaculate, white sand beaches and one of its small, dispersed islands was the site of a significant historical event.

The southern Philippines' Mindanao region includes the sizable island of Mindanao as well as some smaller islands. The Philippine Eagle Centre and Davao Crocodile Park both feature indigenous wildlife in Davao, the country's largest city. The Durian Dome, named after the prickly, pungent fruit that grows in profusion on Mindanao, is located in the urban People's Park with monuments of indigenous people. The Mount Apo volcano in the southwest contains a lake and paths.
