11 DAYS/ 10 NIGHTS
USD 2,211 per person (min. of 2 pax/max. of 14 pax)
The Pacific Theater of the Second World War remains largely untapped for its stories of sacrifice, intrigue, ferocity and heroism. As part of the American Commonwealth in the 1930s and on its way to become an independent country, the Philippines was thrust to an unenviable stage where its people had to endure the enemy’s cruelty for three years and survive the bombs of their liberators in 1945.
In this trip, you will visit important sites that became pivotal points leading up to the end of World War 2 in the Philippines. Your trip will be led by an expert guide and supported by the local community.
