Travel Guide: Laswitan in Cortes, Surigao del Sur The Philippines is an archipelago surrounded by numerous bodies of water,  both big and small. With so much geological diversity, it might surprise you  to see a special feature you have never seen elsewhere in the country.

Location :  Country : PHILIPPINES Province : LUZON , ZAMBALES POTIPOT ISLAND       Potipot has got to be one of the most accessible islands we’ve visited in the Philippines. From Uacon in Candelaria , Zambales and just a  short  distance off the main highway, one can get a motorized banca or outrigger boat and travel to the island in about 10 minutes. Potipot has also become more popular in recent years. We were fortunate enough to have traveled on a Monday; the place is said to be packed with tourists on weekends. Fortunately, the island is still relatively pristine. There are no resorts on Potipot itself although there are a few huts for rent should one want to stay overnight . There are basic toilets and shower rooms (but no showers – one has to fetch water from a deep well for bathing) as well as tables and benches for small groups that come with the entrance fee to the island. Getting To U...
