1 itinerary · 0 open departures · 0 missions

Manila is the sprawling capital of the Philippines, a city of contrasts where Spanish colonial history in Intramuros sits alongside buzzing night markets, world-class food scenes, and a famously vibrant nightlife. Just a short drive north into the Rizal province, Mount Purro Nature Reserve offers a dramatic escape into lush rainforest, with trekking trails popular among hikers seeking panoramic views of the Sierra Madre range and surrounding lowlands. Together, Manila and Mount Purro make for a compelling combination of urban exploration and outdoor adventure — ideal for travellers who want to experience both the city's chaotic energy and the Philippines' rich natural landscapes.

Manila: Jungle Treks, Delicious Bites & City Sights — Self-Launched

A self-launched 5-day version of G Adventures' Manila & Mount Purro jungle-and-foodie loop, built for solo travellers who want the same mix of city sights, an Indigenous-community jungle homestay and Chinatown street-food crawl — but booked independently. Base yourself in a Manila hostel (Makati or Malate), take a local van or bus out to the Sierra Madre foothills for a night in a community jungle lodge, then return for fort-and-cathedral wandering and a self-led Binondo food crawl. Everything here is bookable direct or via GetYourGuide/Klook, with costs estimated for a budget backpacker in GBP.

Nobody's posted a Mission for Manila & Mount Purro, Philippines yet — which, frankly, is an opportunity.

Wait, what's a Mission?It's not a scheduled trip with dates and a minimum group size like a Departure — it's a goal. Learn to dive, do a Muay Thai camp, live somewhere for a month and work on something, chase one very specific experience. Post it, and other people chasing the same thing find you.

Be the first to post one: "Find the most locally-hated tourist trap and go anyway, unironically, in a costume."
