Overview
Time to go on an adventure and explore the aesthetic creations in Sagada & Banaue Rice Terraces!
The life of this small community is pretty calm and simple but it features an all-year-round cool climate that is far colder than Baguio.
You will get to experience the best of the Ifugao rice terraces over the course of the following two days, as well as the chance to witness a sunset and awaken to a vista of the Batad Rice Terraces. On your third day in Ifugao included a five-hour journey to the Tappiya Falls and the Batad Rice Terraces, as well as a few stops to visit both traditional and modern Ifugao homes in Batad Village.
Sagada claims itself to be a walking town as a result of the residents’ desire to stay away from many vehicles. Visit Sumaguing Cave, also referred to as the “Big Cave” due to its huge cave chambers, and get a taste of the renowned Igorot tribes’ culture and traditions.
Known for its cool climate and dramatic views, Baguio is a destination locals have loved for years. Hit the highlights in just a day on this private guided tour, with lunch, entrance fees, and round-trip transfers all included. See The Mansion, the president’s official summer palace, capture photos at Mines View Park and the abandoned Diplomat Hotel, and visit Our Lady of Lourdes Grotto and Our Lady of Atonement Cathedral.
