Burdeos is a fourth class municipality in the province of Quezon.
The municipality of Burdeos is geographically located in the coastal part of Polillo Island.
The most beautiful places on the island are the mountains that form the heart of the island’s interior and the surrounding islands with its white sand beaches that compose the municipalities of Burdeos.
Burdeos has everything a person could want in an island adventure – sandbars, raw white sand beaches, clear blue water, coral reefs which can be viewed by snorkellers, and one of the island’s best adventure spots its unexplored caves. It’s as close to heaven as you can get.
Imagine the white sand beaches, colorful corals and fishes, stretches of sandbars. Sounds like a postcard, right? I'll promise, Burdeos is better than any postcard you've seen. It's a real paradise on earth. It is a place where you can forget anything and just focus on the stunning nature, this place is almost heaven in its beauty.
The islands of Polilio are now easily accessible and, therefore, it is now quite a popular destination for travelers. But the municipality of Burdeos is still off the beaten track for most travelers - most likely it is because of the road going to the town proper - And when i say its the road going to Burdeos - i mean its the bumpy two hour ride to a largely unpaved muddy and dusty road. But don't you worry, the scenic rice fields, abundant coconut trees and lush forest along the way - its a pleasant diversion from the bumpy ride. And to those willing to make the effort to come there now (via the customized jeepneys that look like the giant jeepneys bound for Pulag) will be HANDSOMELY REWARDED.
HOW TO GET To BURDEOS:
Buses/Vans have daily trips from Legarda terminal in Manila going to Ungos Port in Real, Quezon. The trip will take 3 - 4 hours via Famy-Infanta. Then you can take a boat to Anawan port or to Polillo port, they have daily trips from Real-Anawan/Polillo and vice versa. The boat ride is for 2 hours - then less than 2 hours of jeepney ride from Anawan/Polillo port to Burdeos proper.
