I moved to the Philippines six months ago and I have been taking a lot of short vacations to explore the country. Beaches are amazing, but the rice terraces of Banaue so far are my favourite. This place is magic and relaxing, I visited during a long-week end trip. My small group drove from Manila to Baguio in the late... More

The terraces are really nice and amazing to see. We came by night bus from Baguio but you can also take a night bus from Manila. If you don't have much time, you can do a tour the same day and even leave the same night back to Manila it's hard but you don't loose much time ;) We did... More

The last time that I have been here was via my grade school field trip before venturing back 3 days ago en route to Sagada. All I can say is that the Banaue Rice Terraces is still breathtaking. It is nostalgic to see that the elderly Ifugao is still waiting in his place for potential tourists to take a picture... More

There is so much to see and so many rich experiences to be had from visiting and viewing the 2,000 years old Rice Terraces in Banaue, Batad and Bagaan. The surroundings are undeveloped and it is like traveling back in time in a capsule. There is very limited outside influences, rightly or wrongly, in attempt to preserve this region. Regretfully,...

It was very exciting to see the terraces and wonder how it has been built. It takes you around 1.5 hrs walk to get to the end of the terraces where you will see the Hapao hot spring. More

In the review printed and posted at Batad, the jeepney used to carry tourists from Banaue to Batad, 1 hour slow trip, for the price of P25. Since the Tourist Association is now in charge, things have changed. Jeepneys no longer pick up passengers to and fro from Banaue to Batad where each passenger pays P25, but each Jeepney can... More

The first time I went to Banaue it was on Good Friday of the Lenten season and it took us 7hrs only to get there. The road was deserted even in high noon! It is around 388kms from Manila to Banaue via SCTEX. It could have been 6hrs since we made some stops for breakfast. The second time was on... More

Although it was mostly raining during our trekking, it was an amazing experience. The view is fenomenal and all i'm sure everybody can handle "the long tour" (cca 5 hours). My advice is to rather take a jeepney than tricikel, so you wouldn't have to walk last hour to the place where tricikels are (they can not go further up... More

There are several Rice Terraces in Banaue, and they say that those in Batad are the Most Beautiful. But Batad is not easily accessible. From Banaue Town Proper, one can hire a Jeepney for about one hour and a half of travel in very rough and narrow road. The road is so narrow that in most areas, only one vehicle... More
