The gentle charms of Estancia are often overlooked by visitors to this region of the Philippines. Surrounded by more than a dozen tropical islands, many people bypass the mainland and take a pump boat to the sandy shores.
However, Estancia is a pretty place to spend some time and this is a good place to use as a base to go exploring. There are plenty of natural beauty spots nearby, and walking is popular, while some visitors prefer to hire a bicycle and explore at their leisure.
Estancia is perhaps best known for its fresh seafood and those who enjoy dining on marine life will never go hungry here. Among the wide variety of fish and seafood available is prawns, grouper, mackerel, squid, shrine, sardines and barracuda.
Getting There & Away
Getting to Estancia is particularly easy as it is locatedabout 60kms away from Manila, which has its own international airport with flights regularly arriving from all over the world. Simply take a bus from Manila’s large city market straight to Estancia (30 minutes).
