Sta. Ana, Cagayan

This islet, really a rock formation, is called Manidad. It's just one of the many islands and islets in Sta. Ana, Cagayan. The farthest town up north in Luzon island, Sta. Ana is one of the most beautiful places I've ever seen in the Philippines. Here you'll see different kinds of endangered species -- from whales, to deers and boars to birds. Really worth the 14-hour drive from Manila. (Or you can take an hour plane ride to Tuguegarao and travel 3 hours by land to Sta. Ana.)
