Ilig-Iligan Beach - This beach is on the east coast of Boracay and offers several coves and caves. Inland is an impressing jungle where giant fruit bats may be seen hanging in the trees.
Local boys offer their service as guides to the Bat Caves, located a 30 minute walk inland from the beach. Ilig-iligan beach is accessible by road via motorbike, bicycle or hiking.
Like most beaches on the island's east coast, access by boats depends on the weather and tide, with the sea sometimes rough during the northeast monsoon. During the southwest monsoon, however, the sea is normally calm and clear perfect for snorkeling and offshore scuba diving trips.

The Amazon Rainforest, also known as Amazonia, the Amazon jungle or the Amazon Basin, encompasses seven million square kilometers (1.7 billion acres), though the forest itself occupies some 5.5 million square kilometers (1.4 billion acres), located within nine nations. The Amazon represents over half of the planet's remaining rainforests and comprises the largest and most species-rich tract of tropical rainforest in the world. The Amazon River is the largest river in the world by volume, with a total flow greater than the top ten rivers worldwide combined. It accounts for approximately one-fifth of the total world river flow and has the biggest drainage basin on the planet. Not a single bridge crosses the Amazon.
