Long undiscovered, the fascinating south of the Philippines is now opening up to travellers. Thanks to a significantly improved security situation and modern infrastructure, this region offers an unrivalled experience. For anyone with a passion for motorcycling, the tropical mountain and coastal landscape of Mindanao is an absolute magnet. Immerse yourself in a world of adventure, breathtaking routes and unforgettable freedom on two wheels!
The people are very welcoming, the nature is impressively diverse
The south of the Asian island paradise has improved significantly in terms of catering, infrastructure and safety. In the region between Davao and GenSan you can find almost everything that sports enthusiasts, motorcyclists and active travellers are looking for, and this applies even more to water sports enthusiasts. On the island of Mindanao alone, there are almost 2000 kilometres of coastline with great beaches, bays and smaller islands. The country is extremely diverse and almost every Filipino speaks English.
The Philippines, a breathtaking archipelago with thousands of islands, is a true natural wonder that immediately casts a spell over every visitor. Here, travellers can expect powder-white sandy beaches that gently fade into the turquoise waters, as well as a spectacular underwater world that delights divers and snorkellers alike. The security situation has improved, which has now made the author’s trip possible:
Oliver Gaebe says: „I didn’t even feel uncomfortable in GenSan, apparently it is now safe for other Europeans or Americans to go exploring unaccompanied…’ Many beaches in the south of Mindanao look like this…“
What a marvellous landscape and nature! Beach near Glan, maybe 60 miles from GenSan
But the Philippines offer far more than just coastal paradises: From the majestic, centuries-old rice terraces of Banaue in the north to the vibrant, bustling streets of Manila, an incredibly diverse culture unfolds.
