What’s inside Lakbay Museo?
You will definitely fall in love as you get inside the place. You will first get to see the jeepney, the plane, and the vinta. Vinta is a type of boat that comes from Mindanao. These three types of transport symbolize how people travel around the Philippines. If you are more of an adventurous person, you can take the plane. With that, you can slide down to start your journey inside Lakbay Museo. For photo ops, you may choose the jeepney or the vinta. Then, you will receive 12 chips from the staff. You can use them in buying some Filipino food inside the museum.

Have a glimpse of the different life-sized replicas of the most well-known destinations and cuisines. Filled with vibrant colors and portals that are IG-worthy, this place is surely a must-visit!

The Public Market which highlights different types of Filipino foods and delicacies.

Barasoain Church is located in the town of Malolos, Bulacan. Certainly one of the most historical churches in the Philippines. The church tells us how devoted Filipinos are. It also shows how we value Christianity and other religions in the country.
Region 4
Festivals from different regions also highlight how rich the Philippines is what it has to offer!
Pahiyas Festival is an annual colorful celebration in Quezon. Aside from that, you can see the two life-sized morions that originated from Marinduque. Morions are soldiers that you can see during the Moriones Festival.

You can get to see the replica of the Mayon Volcano beside the replica of Casagwa Ruins. In addition, you can get inside a tunnel behind the volcano. From the inside, you can see lots of chilis (Bicolanos love to eat spicy food). This is where you can also do that famous “Lava Walk”.
Other things to see in Lakbay Museo
In the Cordillera Area Region, you can witness the Panagbenga Festival. It is an annual flower festival celebration in Baguio. Of course, there is a portal of synthetic rice. This shows that the Philippines is one of the biggest rice producers in the world! Not to mention that Filipinos can’t go on a day without rice! Also, get to know more about the various types of coffee from the different regions in the country.
Then, you should also see the replica of the Magellan’s cross from Cebu!
More to that, there is a portal that highlights how rich the Philippines in regard to marine biodiversity. It also raises awareness about how we must really protect our ocean and the environment.
One of the best parts, when you explore around the museum, is you can have the experience of playing traditional instruments from Mindanao. In fact, this is what I enjoyed the most. You can also learn about traditional weaving which is a big part of the Mindanaoan culture.
