🇵🇭 A 2-WEEK ITINERARY CHASING SUMMER IN THE PHILIPPINES

Rice terraces, limestone cliffs, cascading waterfalls, and the bluest water you have ever seen. Here is exactly how to spend 2 weeks in the Philippines 👇

https://steller.co/t/kats-2-week-guide-to-the-philippines-GvUSKwcEpDz

📍 Manila — Day 1
Get in, rest up, and fuel up before heading north. The adventure starts tomorrow.

📍 Batad and Banaue — Days 2-4
One million shades of green carved into the sides of cliffs and mountains. The Batad Rice Terraces are a UNESCO World Heritage Site and genuinely nothing can prepare you for seeing them in person. Hike through the terraces with a local guide (required by law), swim at Tappiyah Falls, and stay at Lhoren's Inn where you will wake up to the most insane views of the rice terrace amphitheatre. Note: it is about a 12 hour drive from Manila, budget accordingly.

📍 Sagada — Days 4-6
A mountain town unlike anywhere else. See the Hanging Coffins of the Kankanaey people, hike 2 hours through rice terraces to Bomod-ok Falls, pick up a handwoven bag at Sagada Weaving , and eat pork sisig and sinigang at Sagada Taste Restaurant. Stay at Aniduwan Lodge, a forest cabin with a deck perfect for morning cloud inversions.

📍 Baguio — Day 7
Walk through La Trinidad Strawberry Farm, grab souvenirs, stretch your legs, and hit the road toward the coast.

📍 El Nido, Palawan — Days 8-12
The main event. Island hop by traditional banca boat through limestone cliffs and turquoise lagoons, snorkel at Paglugaban Island, swim through the keyhole into Secret Beach, and spend a full day at Nacpan Beach (one of the most beautiful beaches in SE Asia). Grab the freshest piña colada of your life at Cara-Bar, catch sunset from Lion's Lounge, and get the coconut latte at Grounded Coffee. Book Tour A and Tour C for the best island hopping experiences!

📍 Boracay — Days 12-14
End the trip right. White Beach for the days, Ice Flakes Boracay for dessert (go more than once, you will), sunset cruise on your last night, & a 60 minute massage at Upperhouse for under $11. Get up early for the famous coconut tree at Bulabog Beach before the crowds arrive.

Happy Earth Day 2026🌍✈️

Because every trip we take is really just time spent borrowing the most beautiful places on Earth.

The early mornings before a city wakes up.
The salt in the air by the ocean.
The mountains that make you feel small in the best way.
The quiet trails, the busy markets, the places that stay with you long after you leave.

Travel reminds you how much there is to see…
and Earth Day is the reminder to take care of it while we do.

Leave places better than you found them.
Support local.
Slow down.
Look around a little longer.

The goal isn’t just to see the world… it’s to protect it so we always can 🤍

Save this as your reminder for your next trip 🌿

A Simplified Guide to New Mexico’s National Parks 🌶️👇

Surreal landscapes, otherworldly geology, and parks that feel completely different from anything else in the Southwest — New Mexico is quietly one of the most unique national park states.

🦇 Carlsbad Caverns National Park – A massive underground world of limestone chambers and natural wonders. This park is less about mileage and more about timing.

Big Room Loop (~1.25 mi, easy)
Kings Palace Tour (ranger-led, easy)

🎟️ Know Before You Go:
• Timed entry reservations required for cave entry
• Ranger-led tours require separate reservations
• Bat flight programs are seasonal (spring–fall evenings)

CARLSBAD, NEW MEXICO (1 DAY)

P.S. Carlsbad Caverns is also located near Guadalupe Mountains National Park! Add on a few extra days to your trip to hike quiet trails with expansive views.

🏜️ White Sands National Park – Endless white gypsum dunes that shift and glow throughout the day. This park is all about light, timing, and open space.

(It’s one of the few places in the U.S. where you can sleep on a dune and wake up surrounded by nothing but white sand and sky.)

🎟️ Know Before You Go:
• No timed entry required
• Intermittent closures due to nearby missile testing
• Best visited at sunrise or sunset for cooler temps
