Named the last frontier, and the beginning of civilization in the Philippines. This 40km by 650 km long archipelago made out of over 1700 joining Islands is the biggest province in the Philippines. But with hardly 800.000 inhabitants also one of the least populated one.What helped to preserve all the treasures of deep rain forests, high mountains, coral reefs and white sandy beaches.Which are now home to countless plants and animal species. The north is bounded to Mindoro and the south almost touches Borneo. It is believed there has been once a land connection between those two sanctuaries, as Flora and Fauna shows plenty of similarities and rare kinds which can only be found here. South-East-Asia

Most cities have Taxies, what doesn't mean it will improve your travel at all. As it is very common that you will be offered a fixed fare instead of paying the meter readings. Make sure the driver turns on the meter as soon as you enter the car, if he insists on a fixed rate you better get out and wait for the next one. However it is expected that you give 20 to 50 pesos more than the amount shown on the meter. If you are coming from the airport look for the yellow airport taxies, their rates are slightly higher but absolutly worth it. In the Islands or smaller towns you have the option to take a "Jeepney" or "Trycicle" as public transportation. As they don't have meters you can follow those basic rates.
