Wander through the cobblestone streets and explore San Agustin Church, the oldest stone church in the country.

Just across lies Casa Manila, a reproduction of a 19th-century house adorned with Oriental and European decor, along with antique Philippine furniture. You will continue the journey to Fort Santiago, Manila's primary defence against maritime invaders.

Your first destination is the Philippine Tarsier Foundation in the town of Corella. This sanctuary provides a haven for the world's smallest primate, the tarsier.

Next, venture to Baclayon and take a brief pause at the historic Blood Compact site. Here, the friendship between Spain's Miguel Lopez de Legazpi and Datu Sikatuna, a native chieftain, was sealed with a symbolic drink.
