Make no mistake though, this archipelagic nation has seen a rapid transformation from a laid-back fishing village into a leading hotspot for tourists from all over the world, especially for those who are seeking something out of the ordinary. Here is a list of some of the most unusual things you can attempt when on a holiday in the Philippines.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Ch4 style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003EGet mesmerized by the Hinatuan River\u003C\/h4\u003ELocated in Mindanao island, lies a crystal-clear source of water said to be coming from a miraculous source. Visitors throng to this place in large numbers just to get a glimpse of how the salt waters of the Hinatuan River, emerge over the surface of the earth from an unknown underground aquifer and merge with the Pacific Ocean. The river is devoid of any silt or dirt, throughout its length, making the view all that more magical. The only downside is that currently \u003Ca href=\"https:\/\/outoftownblog.com\/no-more-swimming-in-hinatuan-enchanted-river\/\" target=\"_blank\"\u003Evisitors are not allowed to swim at the main pool of the river\u003C\/a\u003E.

After all, where else in the world can one come across an extremely active volcano and the biggest crater lake in the world together. With 33 eruptions on record, Taal volcano has strange geological features formed over the years and have created some of nature's most unique landscapes.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EThe tiny island known as Vulcan Point stands in the center of a thousand feet high lake.

Until today, the people of Sagada, after putting their dead in wooden coffins, hang them from the walls of cliffs. Legend has it, that the old and infirm prepare their own coffins and have them hung from the highest position possible after their death, as an attempt to allow their spirits easy access to higher life after demise. Some of these coffins are said to be centuries old and are left untouched after hanging them.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Ch4 style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003EPay respects at the Sunken Cemetery\u003C\/h4\u003EFor the citizens of the town of Camiguin, there is no better epitaph than the single giant cross standing over the place where the town once stood. Camiguin and the cemetery of the town were destroyed in a massive earthquake in 1870 caused by the eruption of Mt. Hibok-Hibok. In fact, so strong were the tremors that the capital city and the cemetery sank into the sea. To commemorate the tragic loss, a cross was constructed at the very place the town sank, right in the middle of the sea. The isolated structure stands as a stark reminder and a place of reverence for the tragedy which befell this once vibrant place.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Ch4 style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003EBehold the Chocolate Hills of Bohol\u003C\/h4\u003EImagine 1268 similar conical mounds emerging from the earth, all within a small area.

Despite their large numbers, their source remains a mystery, even till this very day. Numerous theories are suggested, from volcanic activity to weathering away of limestone, but none have been confirmed.

More importantly, it was found out that the area where the old huts used to be has a\u0026nbsp;\u003Cb\u003E\u003Cu\u003Ehollow underground\u003C\/u\u003E\u003C\/b\u003E. This means that the ground above it can only hold so much weight. This is to avoid caving in or collapsing of the area. So fewer people staying on the ground will put less weight than when all visitors would stay in one area at the time. Hence the relocation of the dining and parking areas away was deemed to be a good solution.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EThere are no longer individual huts for hire, but the management built a large hall made of wood and nipa that can accommodate more or less 200 people at a time.

I had very little knowledge of Prambanan. I did not even bother to research about it before exploring. I just went to experience it by just going along with the flow, and follow the well of excitement.

The effort and resources they have put into its restoration are immeasurable. Built in the 10th century, this is the largest temple compound dedicated to Shiva in Indonesia. The temples collapsed during a major earthquake in the 16th century. It was only in 1918 when the Dutch colonizers began their reconstruction of the compound and the proper restoration only in 1930.

Coming from Kuching City on my way back to Manila, I had a long 12-hour layover. I decided to spend some time in Petronas Towers.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EAfter depositing my luggage for safekeeping, I boarded the one-hour bus ride to central terminal and rode the train to KLCC. I lingered around from almost 2PM to 8 PM before I headed back to the Kuala Lumpur International Airport. I had just enough time to check in and wait for my flight back to Manila at 1:00 AM.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EThe sky was overcast that gave me a great time roaming around its well-manicured and quiet gardens. It was definitely a stark contrast to the busy and crowded KLCC Mall below the Petronas Towers. I wanted to climb the towers, but the line was too long that time and I feared I might lose some precious time to do my photography. I thought that I already had so much of a mall scene back in Manila, and being new to the place, I confined myself in exploring photographing its every nook and cranny and observing people.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EThen after a quick dinner, I patiently waited for sunset to capture the lighting of the towers at twilight, which highlighted my jaunt. After chimping on my photos, I thought I had good shots already and I had to go back to the airport.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EIt was quite a respite after a week of work back in Kuching.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Ca data-flickr-embed=\"true\" href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/ding-inkblots\/3607601614\/in\/album-72157619047949706\/\" nbsp=\"\" title=\"Not just 2 but 4\"\u003E\u003Cimg alt=\"Not just 2 but 4\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/farm4.staticflickr.com\/3602\/3607601614_7112a6243b_z.jpg\" width=\"600\" \/\u003E\u003C\/a\u003E\u003Cscript async=\"\" charset=\"utf-8\" src=\"\/\/embedr.flickr.com\/assets\/client-code.js\"\u003E\u003C\/script\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Ca data-flickr-embed=\"true\" href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/ding-inkblots\/3581383451\/in\/album-72157619047949706\/\" title=\"Fit it in\"\u003E\u003Cimg alt=\"Fit it in\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/farm3.staticflickr.com\/2479\/3581383451_0f46636925_b.jpg\" width=\"600\" \/\u003E\u003C\/a\u003E\u003Cscript async=\"\" charset=\"utf-8\" src=\"\/\/embedr.flickr.com\/assets\/client-code.js\"\u003E\u003C\/script\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Ca data-flickr-embed=\"true\" href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/ding-inkblots\/3606777393\/in\/album-72157619047949706\/\" title=\"Lunch\"\u003E\u003Cimg alt=\"Lunch\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/farm3.staticflickr.com\/2474\/3606777393_980173627b_z.jpg\" width=\"600\" \/\u003E\u003C\/a\u003E\u003Cscript async=\"\" charset=\"utf-8\" src=\"\/\/embedr.flickr.com\/assets\/client-code.js\"\u003E\u003C\/script\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Ca data-flickr-embed=\"true\" href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/ding-inkblots\/3607593884\/in\/album-72157619047949706\/\" title=\"Back2Back\"\u003E\u003Cimg alt=\"Back2Back\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/farm4.staticflickr.com\/3378\/3607593884_0c0101051a_z.jpg\" width=\"600\" \/\u003E\u003C\/a\u003E\u003Cscript async=\"\" charset=\"utf-8\" src=\"\/\/embedr.flickr.com\/assets\/client-code.js\"\u003E\u003C\/script\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Ca data-flickr-embed=\"true\" href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/ding-inkblots\/3912298141\/in\/album-72157619047949706\/\" title=\"KLCC\"\u003E\u003Cimg alt=\"KLCC\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/farm4.staticflickr.com\/3433\/3912298141_df2c368b81_z.jpg\" width=\"600\" \/\u003E\u003C\/a\u003E\u003Cscript async=\"\" charset=\"utf-8\" src=\"\/\/embedr.flickr.com\/assets\/client-code.js\"\u003E\u003C\/script\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Ca data-flickr-embed=\"true\" href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/ding-inkblots\/3946263257\/in\/album-72157619047949706\/\" title=\"Petronas in black and white\"\u003E\u003Cimg alt=\"Petronas in black and white\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/farm3.staticflickr.com\/2660\/3946263257_878f0d8765_b.jpg\" width=\"600\" \/\u003E\u003C\/a\u003E\u003Cscript async=\"\" charset=\"utf-8\" src=\"\/\/embedr.flickr.com\/assets\/client-code.js\"\u003E\u003C\/script\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cdiv dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: left;\" trbidi=\"on\"\u003E\u003C!-- Start FastWebCounter.com  --\u003E Page was explored \u003Ca href=\"http:\/\/www.fastwebcounter.com\/\" title=\"Free Web Counter\"\u003E\u003Cscript src=\"http:\/\/fastwebcounter.com\/secure.php?s=http:\/\/www.thepinoyexplorer.com\/2015\/11\/Petronas-Towers.html\"\u003E\u003C\/script\u003E times\u003C\/a\u003E \u003C!-- End FastWebCounter.com  --\u003E \u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Ca class=\"twitter-share-button\" data-hashtags=\"thepinoyexplorer\" data-via=\"pinoy_explorer\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/share\"\u003ETweet\u003C\/a\u003E \u003Cscript\u003E!function(d,s,id){var js,fjs=d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];if(!d.getElementById(id)){js=d.createElement(s);js.id=id;js.src=\"\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\";fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js,fjs);}}(document,\"script\",\"twitter-wjs\");\u003C\/script\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cdiv class=\"fb-like\" data-action=\"like\" data-href=\"http:\/\/www.thepinoyexplorer.com\/2015\/11\/Petronas-Towers.html\" data-layout=\"standard\" data-share=\"true\" data-show-faces=\"false\" data-width=\"600\"\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv class=\"fb-comments\" data-href=\"http:\/\/www.thepinoyexplorer.com\/2015\/11\/Petronas-Towers.html\" data-numposts=\"10\" data-width=\"600\"\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cb\u003EDo you like this article?
