0930AM – Arrival into Banaue and check in at hotel then proceed to the optional adventure using local jeepneys and go hiking into the mountains:

A.  BATAD: With a good physical level expect some rough narrow tracks that can be achieved in a short time. Marvel at the Batad amphitheater terraces from the village view point and see a 2000 year old terrace that climbs up a mountainside up to a 70-degree angle.

TAPPIYA WATERFALLS: after Batad there can be a long hike to see a 70 meter fall. A natural pool is formed at its bottom suitable for a cool swim (properly attired) It’s a further trek from Batad for a total of 3 hours.

B.  BANGA-AN VILLAGE – Instead of Batad, Banga-an showcases a typical Ifugao community. After viewing the terraces from the roadside, stone steps lead downward to this village through the terraced slopes. You are rewarded with spectacular view of this village and its surrounding rice terraces close up.

There is also a stop-over at the Banaue view point from 4800 ft. above. A panoramic view is an experience of the enormity and extent of the terraces, and then followed by a visit to the Banaue Museum which features decades old books by anthropologist Otley Beyer with artifacts collected by his son William. The museum’s two floors feature weaponry, jewelry, traditional dresses, and old photographs of the Ifugaos. You may also stop at the town market for souvenir shopping before dinner.
