0900H – Full Day Trip  Pagsanjan Tour

From your hotel, proceed to the town of Pagsanjan, site of the famous Pagsanjan Falls; approximately two hours drive southeast of Manila.  Passing through typical native countryside scenery, arrive at a riverside lodge where we board a dug-out canoe manned by able-bodied boatmen for the upstream ride to the falls, skimming on rocks and boulders amidst steep gorges and lush vegetation.  Spend sometime at the falls where you may opt for a bamboo raft-ride through the curtain of water and be subjected to its pounding, as it falls from a height of 70 ft. above the gorge.  Your ride back is a more thrilling experience as you “shoot the rapids” while going downstream, with your boatmen skillfully maneuvering the canoe between rocks and boulders until you reach calm waters.

0900H City Sights – We make a photo-stop at Rizal Park, which was then the site of a native community called Bagumbayan that lived outside the Spanish walls of Intramuros.  The focal point of the park is the Rizal Monument, built in honor of the country’s national hero, Dr. Jose Rizal, who was executed here at dawn on 30 December 1898.

We then proceed to the heart of the old Spanish city, Intramuros, where the history of Manila as a capital city began.  We first visit Fort Santiago, the country’s foremost cultural relic where key moments in Philippine history have occurred. From its strategic location overlooking the Pasig River and Manila, visit the several memorials in the fort, which lay claim to its rich and gallant past.

A visit to a local handicraft store just outside will give you a

chance to bring home part of the Philippines with you.

Then and also see within the walls of Intramuros the country’s oldest structure dating back to the 16^th century – the San Agustin Church and Monastery.  Its extensive collection of religious artifacts makes it the country’s largest ecclesiastical museum.  Cross over to beautiful Casa Manila, one of the 5 houses at the old Plaza San Luis Complex that offers refuge to 17^th-19^th Century memorabilia and antique furniture.  Admire the various art pieces that are found in this preserved home.
