The place is beautiful keeping the villains occupying this place aside. As our driver told us, they make his tyres flat and vandalize the car if he drives there, I was apparently obliged to take these vandals' jeepney to go up. Police is also incompetent as these gangs also owns them. Best is to either find a courageous driver or drive a rental car. Roads fro Manila to here is not at all difficult.

Amazing rice terraces and history! Had a gruelling walk to see Tappiya Falls, down through rice terraces ( not recommended for people with vertigo) and climbed up steps to go around another mountain just to see this amazing waterfall! It was worth the challenge seeing the huge hidden waterfalls, absorbing its strength and energy! We rested for an hour, a couple swam but trust me, it was freezing cold at this time of the year! Was refreshing to walk on the puddles, and would recommend to bring flip flops or water diving shoes as it is very slippery with sharp rocks .We had to walk back again through the rice terraces and ended up with a home cook lunch in one of the cafes over looking the terraces. We were welcomed with a cold beer and stir fry vegetable noodles !
