Overlanding in the Philippines 2022

The Philippines is a popular destination for overlanding, or the practice of driving an off-road vehicle on an extended journey. Overlanding in the Philippines requires a 4x4 vehicle and some in-depth knowledge of the area. Popular routes include Northern Luzon, the Visayas, and Mindanao. It is important to note that the terrain in the Philippines can be difficult to drive, so it is recommended to travel with someone who has experience in the area. Additionally, the weather can be unpredictable, so it is important to plan accordingly.

Overlanding with your truck offers the opportunity to explore some of the more remote and untouched areas of the Philippines. It also allows you to create your own itinerary, so that you can customize your trip to your preferences. Additionally, you will have the freedom to stop and explore places on your own and make as many stops as you need. Overlanding also gives you the opportunity to stay off the beaten path and have unique experiences that can’t be found in a traditional travel package.

The Philippines is a beautiful country with a wide variety of beach and mountain destinations for overlanding. Popular beach destinations include Boracay, El Nido, and Coron Island, while mountain destinations include Mt. Pulag, Talinis Peak, and Mt. Kanlaon. The terrain of the Philippines is rugged, so it is important to make sure you have the right type of vehicle and the necessary supplies and provisions. Additionally, it is important to be aware of the weather and local laws before planning your trip.
