Scenic Views in Central Luzon


Every tourist would always want to visit the destinations that have the most scenic and amazing views once they visit a place. Why? Because being able to see these breathtaking views alone already relieves their stress plus these provide great photo opportunities! Are you one of those tourists? Then this article about Central Luzon's scenic views would definitely please you!

The Province of Bataan
1. Mt. Samat
One can already marvel at the beauty of Mt. Samat even without climbing it because the mountain alone is already an eye candy. But for those who want to explore and see more of the place’s scenery, a hiking opportunity is available. The bravery of the Filipino soldiers is commemorated at the 30-storey cross at the summit of Mt. Samat, more popularly known as the Dambana ng Kagitingan (Shrine of Valor), which now provides the tourist an opportunity to enjoy the panoramic view of the area.

2. Las Casas Filipinas de Acuzar
Spanish-era houses were acquired from different places in the Philippines and were then dismantled and rebuilt in Las Casas Filipinas de Acuzar. Cobblestone streets, Spanish-era houses, and calesas are just some of the things that tourists would be able to see in this place. Las Casas Filipinas de Acuzar offers a perfect scenery for those who want to revisit or experience the vibe of the Spanish Era even just for a little while.

3. Westnuk Beach Resort
Tourists would be able to experience seeing the scenic views of mountains and seas along the way to Westnuk Beach Resort. Upon arrival, tourists will already be enveloped with the natural beauty of the unspoiled island. Also, this spot is not that crowded with many tourists so it is truly a sanctuary away from the hustle and bustle of the city.

The Province of Bulacan
1. Mt. Manalmon

It was when I thought that there is nothing more in Bulacan that I came across the beauty of Mt. Manalmon. The said mountain is not one of those cliché mountains that the tourists go to but I think it is one of the best spots if you are looking for a place to relax and enjoy the view. The view from the mountain’s summit would surely make your mouth drop in awe and it is also best to visit here when the weather is fine to be able to see the crystal clear water of the river at the foot of Mt. Manalmon.

2. Hilltop
Looking for a literally cool place to visit in Bulacan? Then go to Hilltop, Bulacan’s little Baguio! Not only does it have a very cool atmosphere, it has always mesmerized tourists too because it offers an amazing view of the Sierra Madre Mountain Range. It also offers an astonishing view of the Angat Dam and the powerplant. From the Guesthouse of Hilltop, tourists would be able to enjoy the amazing view it offers while breathing in the cool and fresh air enveloping the place.

3. Bakas ni Bernardo Carpio
A place popularized by the legend about a giant leaving its footstep in Bulacan, Bakas of Bernardo Carpio is now a well-known tourist destination. It is known for its big natural white stones along the riverbank, the green scenery surrounding it, the calm current and fresh air. Many tourists opt to go here to be able to marvel at the beauty of nature.

The Province of Pampanga
1. Candaba Swamp
Candaba Swamp is a vast breathtaking wetland that has always been a magnet for Ecotourism ever since migratory and domestic birds started flocking the area. Many ecotourists would really enjoy going in this destination because they will be able to take part in the protection of wildlife that Candaba promotes. Apart from being a home for migratory and local birds, this wetland is awesome by itself because it provides a peaceful and excellent rural scenery for everyone looking for some tranquility.

2. Hot Air Balloon Fiesta
The Hot Air Balloon Fiesta is held every year in the province of Pampanga providing the tourists and locals one of the most spectacular exhibitions of different hot air balloons that are launched all at the same time. Hot air balloons of all shapes and sizes in the sky is one of the things that every tourist should not miss, so don’t forget your cameras to grab this amazing photo opportunity.

3. Mt. Pinatubo Crater Lake
After an exhilarating 4x4 ride and a 20-minute trek, an amazing view of the Mt. Pinatubo Crater Lake would greet you. With the bluest waters enclosed by the walls of the volcanic cliffs would definitely make you want to jump right in, but unfortunately the water is no longer appropriate for swimming! Nonetheless, tourists would surely be captured by the amazing view of the crater lake of Mt. Pinatubo.

The Province of Zambales
1. Capones Island and Lighthouse
A beautiful landscape and a pristine beach are the things that Capones Island offers. The island also has a lighthouse that provides an opportunity for tourists to further marvel at the breathtaking view of the whole island that does not fail to make every tourist’s mouth drop in awe.

2. Anawangin Cove
One of the best beaches to consider for a vacation place is the Anawangin Cove, not just because it offers a wide space for many campers and visitors, it also has the perfect replicas of pine trees which makes it even more beautiful! Given that, the Anawangin Cove truly portrays an amazing and serene place that will surely go on the top of your to-visit list because it would surely be a pleasure to visit this amazing place.

3. Potipot Island
Dubbed as the “Little Boracay” of Zambales, Potipot Island offers tourists an experience like no other because by opting to visit in this island, tourists are also choosing simplicity over commercialization. Being a virgin island, it enables the tourists to fully enjoy the serenity and immaculate beauty of nature through its clear blue water and almost-fine white sand.
