Insight Guide Philippines is a comprehensive, full-colour travel guide that provides an essential introduction to this little-known Asian country. The Philippines is a destination of thousands of islands fringed by idyllic tropical beaches, plus stunning mountain scenery, colonial architecture and lively festivals.

In-depth information on the country's history and culture is provided in a series of lively essays, while chapters on contemporary culture, food, festivals and architecture paint a vivid portrait of life in the Philippines today.

The Places chapters have been comprehensively updated for this new edition, and cover all the sights worth seeing - from the amazing landscapes of northern Luzon to the beaches of the Visayas and the jungles of Palawan.

At the back of the book, the Travel Tips section contains all the practical information you'll need to make the most of your trip, including our independent reviews of carefully selected hotels and restaurants, which will direct you to the best and most authentic establishments.

The Author

Jens Peters studied advertising, communications and arts education in Berlin, Germany.

Since 1970 he has travelled several months each year in countries outside Europe. So

far he has visited the Philippines (his favourite country in South-East Asia) more than

60 times and spent over 12 years there all together. In 1977 he began travel writing and

has since worked as a freelance journalist for various travel magazines and published

several books about tropical countries. His guidebook on the Philippines was first

published in 1979 in German and has been updated constantly. He now publishes the

English edition himself as the Philippines Travel Guide.
