Experience his world as you join us on a journey through time. Our first stop in Mactan Island is the Liberty Shrine, erected on the battlefield where Magellan met his defeat at the hands of the chieftain of Mactan, Datu Lapu-Lapu. Today, a larger-than-life statue of Lapu-Lapu towers over mangroves on the very shores of his triumphant battle. Next, we will visit the Church of our Lady of the Rule, a national shrine visited by many who attribute Mactans economic success to her devotion. Our final stop is the Alegre Guitar Factory to see the production process of renowned Philippine guitars. Cross over to Cebu Island through the industrial city of Mandaue, where many world-class furniture factories are found. You will be having lunch at a local Filipino restaurant.

With an elevation of 300 meters above sea level, the temple is a towering, multi-tiered, multi-hued attraction accessible by three separate winding routes. The next stop of our tour is Cebus icon, Magellans Cross. Proceeding to the Basilica Minore of the Christ Child, we will see the home of the image of Jesus as a child, Magellans baptismal gift to Queen Juana, the first Christian Filipina. Next, we will travel to Fort San Pedro, a coral stone fortress originating from the original wooden structure built on the site in 1565. As protection to the city, it became the first Spanish settlement in Asia.
