Starting Thursday, June 23, five teams composed of celebrity coaches and 15 strong, determined and thrill-seeking college students are set to embark in a week-long exciting backpacking adventure like no other in the fifth and biggest "Cebu Pacific Juan for FunBackpacker Challenge".
As if the once-in- a-lifetime escapade is not enough, this year’s Ultimate Backpackers, or big winners, will take home the challenge’s biggest prize yet - a Travel-All- You-Can pass. This entitles each member to as many free flights to domestic and international short-hauldestinations as they want within one year. They will also win exciting premium travel gear from the challenge’s partner brands.
Throughout the challenge, the teams will have to take on as many exciting experiences and daring discoveries within their given travel allowance worth P35,000. They can visit the country’s renowned tourist spots including heritage sites, churches, and parks, sample scrumptious local delicacies, and get to know the locals.
To make the adventure even more awesome, Cebu Pacific has tapped celebrity travel enthusiasts as Adventure Coaches to guide and provide advice to the teams.
