Land Transportation

Traveling by land is one of the most exciting ways to get around most of the places in the Philippines. Whether you are going to historical places or off to see long-lost friends and relatives, there are different ways to reach your destinations by land, depending on the terrain and the distance covered.  There may be tariffs and irregular fare charges on the way, depending on your route and destination.

Rough Riders

Foreign tourists will not be expecting to see calesas in a majority of city streets. They have been replaced by jeepneys, taxicabs, and buses, the most common means of travel.  Few calesas are actually used in rural areas, their use limited to being tourist attractions and fun rides for both domestic and foreign visitors.  Going around the country by land is easy. The Philippines has a broad public transport system, with national highways in major islands.
