BORACAY
ISLAND
Widely
known as one of the finest swimming destinations in
the world, Boracay is blessed with unsullied fine talcum
powder-sand beaches. Its tranquil crystal clear waters
are perfect for swimming, sailing, fishing and sunbathing.
Boracay
also boasts of sapphire seas and spectacular sunsets.
Countless hidden coves dot the island and tall coconut
trees line up along the beaches.
Boracay
lies at the northwest tip of Panay, in the west
Visayas region, off the Sibuyan Sea. The island is made
up of little communities: Yapak in the north, Balabag
in the middle, and Manocmanoc in the south.
Hilly
elevations up to 100 meters above sea level characterize
Yapak and Manocmanoc. Intertwining trails link the small
villages together but many sometimes lead to lush tropical
jungles.
To
get to Boracay, one has to book a flight to Kalibo,
the capital of Aklan province, or Caticlan. Air-conditioned
coasters or public buses offer one-hour-and-a-half drive
from Kalibo to Caticlan, where one can board a motorized
banca for a 30-minute trip to Boracay.
