Philippines - Boracay & Western Visayas (PDF Chapter)

This is the Boracay & Western Visayas chapter from Lonely Planet’s Philippines guidebook.

The most common visitor to Western Visayas is the holidaymaker drawn by Boracay’s gor-geous White Beach and the fiesta hubbub that surrounds it; but there’s also the off-the-beaten-track traveller braving endless miles of roadside shacks to discover the region’s rewards.

• maps
• snorkel or dive with sea turtles at Apo Island’s colourful reef
