Discovering Real Quezon

Unfortunately, we had to cut our 3-day Polillo Island trip short due to some circumstances including bad weather. While on the way back to Real, Quezon our jump-off town going to Polillo Island we were discussing where else to do. Are we going straight home or go somewhere else?

Misadventure: Backpacking Polillo Island - the off beaten path

Polillo Island is a group of islands located in the north-eastern side of Quezon Province. It is subdivided by three towns namely, Polillo, Burdeus and Panukalan. It is the most off-beaten town in the country that I've been to so far. Getting there as backpacker requires a lot of patience just like getting to the other islands of the country.
