5 Places With Great Weather To Travel This Season

The latter part of the ‘ber months is one of the best times to travel because the crowds at the country’s top tourist destinations don’t get as wild as during the summer, and it doesn’t get as rainy as during the onset of the typhoon season.

If you’ve been spending most of your time outdoors these past few rainy months, time to pack up your bags and refuel your #wanderlust! Here, we’ve listed down some of the best places with great weather to travel during this season.

Getting to Gulugod Baboy’s three peaks is considered a small hike for seasoned mountaineers. From there you get a good view of Batangas and the West Philippines Sea.

Go sightseeing, hiking, and swimming, all in one place. A side trip down Sombrero Island is a must, and diving at Philpan Dive Resort is highly encouraged as Anilao is home to some of the most unspoiled reefs in the country.

The trek to Mt. Pinatubo is offered all year, save for heavy rains and announced closures by the local tourism office. One activity that’s fun all season is taking an All Terrain Vehicle (ATV) ride down the Pinatubo trail. Overnight stays mean camping by the crater, though swimming is strictly prohibited at all times.

If you can squeeze in more activities, take a dip at Bueno Hot Spring, or further your historical knowledge of Zambales and Bataan by visiting Museo De Tarlac.
