Enchanting Philippines gives a pictorial overview ofthis intriguing and exciting archipelago, with its over 7,000 islands set inthe sparkling Pacific Ocean. The intense, dark brooding green of the tropicalvegetation, the blinding white coral sands of the beaches and the aquamarineblue of the surrounding tropical seas make for a fizzing cocktail of colour. Add the heat and humidity, suffused with the smells of cooking and tropicalfruit hanging in the air; the colourful chaos of the towns and cities, and thebrilliant smile that seems ready to erupt from any face at any opportunity, andyou are getting closer to the distinct Filipino essence...From the island and beach life of the Visayas to Mindanaoin the south, and from the wild frontiers of Mindoro and Palawan to thebustling metropolis of downtown Manila, this fully updated second edition is acaptivating portrait of this beautiful Southeast Asian island nation.
