BORACAY
ISLAND - AKLAN : After a swim in the sea, you
can engage in relaxing activities. Comb the beaches on horseback.
Play an exciting game of volleyball. Get on an outrigger and
sail to the other side of the island. Swim over to the floating
bar and cool off with a cocktail. Or After sunset, the island transforms into one exciting night of dancing and partying. But don't take our word for it, Boracay is an island you have to experience yourself. For many certified sun-worshippers the world over, paradise goes by the name Boracay. For indeed, many visitors have come back to Boracay year after tear. Some have even chosen to live in this paradise island. |

Sheltered from the fierce easterly
typhoons, Boracay can be found at the northwestern tip of Panay,
in the west Visayas region, off the Sibuyan Sea. Boracay has
managed to pack its thousand-hectare area with all the elements
of a tropical paradise--crystal blue waters, powder white sand,
liberal doses of tropical palms and flowering plants, and a healthy
marine life underneath the seas.
Boracay is made up of three little
communities: Yap in the north, Balabag in the middle, and Manoc-
manoc in the south. Hilly elevations up to 100 meters above sea
level characterize Yapak and Manoc-manoc. Intertwining trails
link the small villages together but may sometimes lead to lush
tropical jungles. Electricity and public transportation remain
relatively scare.
Boracay would have remained a
national secret if not far a few foreign travelers whom accidentally
stumbled upon the place. Some say it was a movie crew, which
spread word about Boracay to other sun worshippers. Other swear
it was German traveler Jens Peters' book, which included rare
reviews about Boracay, that sent tourists on their way. Whichever
tale is true, Boracay has become a melting pot for beach loceers.
At any point in the islands, visitors can hear English, German
and French spoken fluently. More importantly, visitors respect
the serene quality of the place, and pay tribute to native Boracaynons
by behaving according to local behavioral codes-which means no
nudity, no fighting, and no loud commotion's.
Not surprisingly, the culinary
fare at Boracay is as diverse as the nationalities of its
visitors. French, Australian, Belgian, German, Spanish and Thai-they're
all here side by side the native cuisine. Lending ample support
to this virtual rainbow of fruit shakes: from sweet yellow mango,
greens tart.
