Il programma nel dettaglio

Join Gray Line as we visit a living museum of Philippine customs and traditions of the 18th to early 20th century. Now enjoy the restored Historical Principalia, noble class mansions, House of Stone, Bahay na Bato, and wooden stilt houses that were once old and decaying architectural pieces of a bygone era and slowly fading into the background of modern urban life.


After being slowly and carefully reconstructed, these historical buildings make up a picturesque setting reminiscent of a Juan Luna or Amorsolo paintings, set against a backdrop of majestic mountains, expansive rice fields and a running river that flows to the sea. Walking along village cobblestone streets or riding one of the caruajes (horse-drawn carriages) commands a feeling of nostalgia and wonder, romance and appreciation of simple living at its best.


At Las Casas Filipinas de Acuzar, the legacy of our forefathers and the beautiful Filipino traditions live on. It is a step back into the past, reliving the age-old traditions and practices distinct to our culture, without leaving the luxury and comforts of the modern world. A showcase of Filipino talent, ingenuity and craftsmanship, Las Casas Filipinas de Acuzar takes pride in the past... And keeps its hope for the future.
