Below are some of the reasons why you should consider Leyte as one of the best options.
One of the largest provinces in the Philippines, Leyte is nothing short when it comes to experience, opportunities, and stories. It is with an equal blend of urban and natural attractions.
Leyte is in the Eastern Visayas Region, comprising 40 municipalities and three cities. Additionally, Tacloban, the province’s capital city, is a highly urbanized city. At the same time, Ormoc is a first-class independent component city. Leyte is economical transportation and commercial hub in the region.
History and Culture
Leyte is rich in historical and cultural heritage. The MacArthur Leyte Landing Memorial National Park in Palo, Leyte, is a nationally protected park to commemorate the historical landing of General Douglas MacArthur in the Leyte Gulf in 1944. This led to the reconquest of the Philippines during World War II. The Battle of Leyte Gulf is also considered the largest Naval battle in history.
And speaking of culture, Tinikling, one of the most popular and the oldest Philippine folk dances, is from the Island of Leyte during the Spanish colonization. The dance imitates the movement of the “Tikling” bird and is the most famous Philippine dance in the world.
Travel and Nature
Leyte is versatile when it comes to travel and nature trip. Furthermore, it offers an array of experiences, making it a perfect playfield for those who love hiking trails, water experiences, religious visits, and sightseeing.

Additionally, it includes a visit to Lake Janagdan (1120 meters above sea level) and the more famous Lake Danao (700 meters above sea level). These are all located in the same city, Ormoc. Danao is a guitar-shaped lake above a dormant Volcano.
Several beaches surround Leyte, and most of them are postcard perfect. Another place that should be top on your list is Kalanggaman Island. This government-protected destination in Palompon is one of the longest sand bars in the Philippines with powder white sands and pristine blue waters. Fill your camera and feeds with photos that nobody would dare dislike. If you are into water adventure, your stop is Sabang Daguitan Surf Camp in Dulag, Leyte.
