The beaches and coves of Zambales are a beauty all their own
Zambales province is located approximately 125 kilometers northwest of Manila on the island of Luzon. It is just over 1 hour away from Clark Airport and is easily accessible by good roads. Zambales is known best for the deep harbor of Subic Bay but the hidden treasure of the province are in the beaches and mountains that line the coast.
Zambales is home to the Aeta tribe. This group of people are the earliest known Filipino’s to migrate to the islands more than 10,000 years ago. The Aeta tribe still lives in the Sierra Madre Mountain Range which hugs the coastlines. The deep jungles in the mountains are a trekker’s dream and the people of the Aeta tribe are friendly and hospitable. In a side note, the Aeta tribe was also responsible for teaching the United States Army during WWII tactics on jungle survival. Today anyone can hire the tribe to give these same tactical maneuvers as a mean to see if they can survive the depths of a true jungle adventure.
