you should also try visiting aling lucing’s sisig in angeles, pampanga. best sisig pampanga has to offer.(in my opinion).

May 6, 2021 at 10:19 am

1.5hour away from the Metro, Pampanga has a lot of must try foods and spa.

April 21, 2022 at 1:38 pm

We are a group of seniors starting from Clark/Angeles City. I wanted to know the relative locations of (1) Puning Hot Springs (2) Where does the route of 4×4 jeep ride to Puning Hot Springs mentioned above start? (3) Where does the route of doing a hike to the Mt. Pinotubo crater lake start if we do a 4×4 drop off to the mid point? We have some who want to hike the 2 hour one-way hike, and those who would not like to do so due to age. Is it feasible to plan (a) Group 1 does Mt. Pinatubo short hike (4 hour two way) with 4×4 drop off and then go to Puning Hot Springs for a dip in the thermal pool and sand spa – how much comfortable time to provide for the tour?; and (b) Group 2 does 4×4 4×4 jeep ride to Puning Hot Springs and spends the day in Puning Hot Springs (thermal pool dips, spa, food and cultural show? We are visiting in November 2022. Thanks in advance.

June 10, 2022 at 10:43 pm

Hey Anand, they are in different locations/provinces. The jump-off to Puning Hot Springs is in Brgy. Sapang Bato, Angeles City, Pampanga while the jump-off to the Mt. Pinatubo Crater trek is in Capas, Tarlac. I suggest to do them in separate days.

October 31, 2022 at 12:18 pm

If that’s the best of what Clark has to offer then it sounds like a really boring place…

May 8, 2023 at 11:40 pm

lots of good food in Pampanga! I believe that it has also a lot of nice real estate away from the Metro.

February 28, 2024 at 1:25 pm

We are arriving in Cebu Mar 15 @ 1am (staying 2 days) to do canyoneering. I want to go to El Nido (doing tour A & C) and maybe glamping in Nacpan and Boracay. We are departing from CRK Mar 28 late night. In what order should we travel? Do we have time to fit another island? Blue water and some activities are our interests.

February 28, 2024 at 9:22 pm

I suggest you do the island hopping first in Palawan and then go to Boracay to do more relaxed activities. If you’re departing from Cebu Airport, you can go on a day or overnight trip to Panglao & Bohol.

Prepare for an unforgettable Watermazing Experience when you visit Aqua Planet in Clark. One of the tourist attractions in Clark Pampanga promises to bring an entirely new dimension of thrilling fun and excitement in the water. This waterpark prides itself on its visually appealing and world-class facilities. Absolutely your family holiday will delight in their 38 slides and various attractions available there. Some of your options include the Wave River, super bowl, spiral slide, octopus racers, hurricane, aqua loop, and more. The park has rules such as ‘No foods, No floaters’, and drones are also prohibited inside. One of the aspects I particularly like is their status as a smoke-free facility.

According to some visitors who have been to the place, they suggest reconsidering the policies as they found them to be too strict, resulting in disappointment and a lack of enjoyment during their visit.

O ne of the most anticipated tourist attractions in Clark, Pampanga, is the newly-opened Clark Safari and Adventure Park, which has been charming the hearts of Filipino kids ever since its soft opening in December 2021. This massive zoo covers a massive area of 40 hectares full of action-packed live entertainment, exciting rides, and of course, lovely animal tours and adventure. It is said that a total of P135 Million worth of investments have been allocated to the zoo’s development which will soon become one of the country’s major tourist landmarks.

Clark and Safari Adventure Park can accommodate up to 2,500 visitors daily, where they can admire, learn, and even interact with more than 1,500 animals! 70 are guaranteed tamed, so everyone is free and encouraged to interact with them with proper supervision. The zoo also aims to display the rich ethnic culture of the Philippines as performances from Aeta Tribes are included in the entertainment itinerary.

Kingdom Panthera

Clark Safari and Adventure Park is home to several big cats or members of the genus Panthera. These animals include tigers, lions, hyenas, jaguars, caracals, and many more. Apart from taking care of animals, the zoo also focuses on protecting endangered species such as the Bengal Tigers, which are only native to countries like Bangladesh, Bhutan, Western China, and others.

Another cute attraction in Kingdom Panthera is the baby White Tiger cubs from India. These carnivorous animals from India are also considered endangered and therefore protected in Clark Safari. The cute tiger cubs are all bred and fed in the facilities, making them close to humans. You can hold these snuggly White Tiger cubs and let them cuddle with you during your visit! You don’t have to worry because you’ll be supervised by trained personnel and these little cubs are very harmless.

Visitors can also interact with other animals, such as the Striped Hyenas, Northwestern Wolves, Servals, and even Jaguars. There aren’t many places in the country where you can encounter these majestic animals, so better not to miss the opportunity!

Visitors may also enjoy the experience of interacting and even feeding some of the world’s friendliest reptiles, such as turtles, snakes, anacondas, crocodiles, and even iguanas! As long as you’re accompanied by trained staff, there’s absolutely nothing to worry about other than having fun.

More Lovely Mammals!

There are still more animals to meet at Clark Safari and Adventure Park, and they are all genuinely worth meeting. So be sure to have fun with all of them!

Taal Rescue Horses

Another major attraction in Clark Safari and Adventure Park is the Taal Rescue Horses, including some of the horses rescued from the stables affected by the Taal Volcano eruption in January 2020. These cute horses and ponies found a new home at Clark Safari, where they’re all treated nicely and taken care of.

Picture Taking and Animal Feeding

Of course, your exciting adventure wouldn’t be complete without a picture-taking experience! Almost every attraction in Clark Safari and Adventure Park is picture-perfect such as life-sized statues, figures, rides, ATV adventures, and even zip lines!

15 BEST Pampanga Tourist Spots (Food, Heritage & Nature)

The beautiful province of Pampanga has long been one of the most popular tourist destinations in the country. This is simply because everything it offers comes close to everyone’s hearts. From its breathtaking natural wonders to its rich history and culture, exciting entertainment hubs, booming economy, grand festivals and celebrations, and most importantly, heavenly selections of food!

Historically speaking, Pampanga has proved to be one of the most important provinces in the country ever since the Spanish Colony. It was the first-ever province created by the Spaniards and therefore became the richest throughout the 333-year reign of Spain. With that being said, you can almost guarantee that every bit of Pampanga’s culture and tradition has a huge Spanish influence. Pampanga is also home to some of the Philippines’ best-known natural landmarks including Mt. Pinatubo, Mt. Arayat, and the mesmerizing Miyamit Falls!

Aside from its undoubtedly rich history, Pampanga is also one of the best-performing provinces in terms of economic success. Finally, Pampanga is also known as the “Culinary Capital of the Philippines” because several of our iconic Filipino cuisine dishes originated from the culinary genius of the Kapampangans. Heavenly dishes including Caldereta, Lengua Estofado , San Nicolas Cookies, Morcon, and most especially, the sinful Sisig all came from Pampanga. Some tourists from all over the world even visit the beautiful province just to taste the deliciously authentic dishes of Kapampangan Cuisine, I guess that just delivers the statement of how the Kapampangans mastered the art of cooking.

Pampanga is a complete package for those who want to explore a huge part of the Philippines’ history, culture, and natural beauty. There are several beautiful and exciting options to choose from and you will never run out of them when you’re in Pampanga. So, if you’re planning to visit the iconic province anytime soon then I’ve got your back! Here are the 15 Best Things to do in Pampanga!

1. Mt. Pinatubo

Credit: CNN Philippines

What was once one of the most deadly and chilling natural catastrophes in the history of mankind is now a breathtaking natural tourist destination. This just shows how unpredictable Mother Nature can be. I’m talking about the story of Mt. Pinatubo.

Despite still being active after its deadly eruption in 1991, Mt. Pinatubo has been relatively quiet all these years.
