The programme

You'll set off from the Puerto Princesa Baywalk, where the sea greets you with its briny scent and the waves put on a show. There are no trendy bars selling fruity cocktails here if you're looking to feel refreshed, simply take a few steps toward the sea. The sun is strong and the breeze musses your hair, but that's the whole point. This isn't the place for tourist selfies it's all about soaking up the atmosphere!Next, we're headed fro the Immaculate Conception Cathedral, a real architectural experiment. Forget the standard churches that you expect to find the design of this place of worship might make you raise an eyebrow: it's more unconventional than most places in the city, and will have you wondering why no one else has ever thought of building something so... original.Get ready for a more sombre moment at Plaza Cuartel. Here, in 1944, the Second World War left a wound that cannot be ignored a powerful reminder of the cruelty and suffering endured by 150 American prisoners. This experience may leave you with more questions than answers, but it will stay with you forever.Palaweno Brewery is the last stop, perfect for bringing the day to a close on a positive note. Forget anonymous, industrially-produced beers: Here, every sip tells a story, made up of local ingredients and artisan passion. Indeed, it's the first artisan brewer on the island, proudly managed by women, and offers beers that are brimming with bold character, inspired by Philippine flavors and traditions. Sit down, raise your glass and taste something that you won't find anywhere else. A toast to Puerto Princesa, to the trip, and to this islands, which is full of surprises.
