Guests have the opportunity to add a local English-speaking guide during their 4 days in Banaue at the next stage of the booking process for an additional fee.

Upon arrival at approx. 8.45 am, you will be met and transferred using private transportation for 4 hours to your hotel. Later in the afternoon, you'll arrive at the Banaue Hotel or Similar. Here, you'll check in and enjoy an overnight stay in a Standard Room.
Day 3: Sagada Mountain Province (Breakfast Included)
After breakfast, you'll be picked up at 7 am and transferred in a private air-conditioned vehicle for 2 hours to the Sagada Mountain Province. The Municipality of Sagada is a 5th class municipality in the province of Mountain Province, Philippines. According to the 2015 census, it has a population of 11,127 people. It is adjacent to Bontoc, the provincial capital. Sagada is famous for its Hanging coffins. This is a traditional way of burying people that is still utilised. Not everyone is qualified to be buried this way; among other things, one had to have been married and had grandchildren. Popular activities include trekking, exploring caves and waterfalls, and visiting historical sites, nature hikes, and participating in tribal celebrations. Most of the guides are natives, also known as Igorots. Sagada is nestled in a valley at the upper end of the Malitep tributary of the Chico River some one and a half kilometers above sea level in the Central Cordillera Mountains, enveloped between the main Cordillera Ranges and the Ilocos Range. Enjoy an overnight stay at the Banaue Hotel or Similar in a Standard Room.
After breakfast, you'll be picked up at 7 am and transferred in a private air-conditioned vehicle to Batad and the Banaue View Point. Batad is famous for its rice terraces, one of the five clusters of rice terraces in Ifugao that are inscribed in the UNESCO World Heritage Site list since 1995. Through the years, more and more tourists, local and foreign alike, flock to this side of Cordillera to see the magnificent rice terraces that carpet the entire mountainside of the small village. Adventure awaits in Batad since most of the attractions in the area require trekking or walking. But walking along the rice terraces and being surrounded by amazing scenery make a day in the village a truly worthy one! Batad is approximately 18 kilometers from Banaue town proper. The jeepneys are stationed in the terminal in front of public market. The jeepney will take you to the end of the road past the saddle; approximately 500 metres or 15 minutes trek to Batad village. Take a dip in the cool and relaxing waters of Tappiyah Falls. The first thing you’d want to do when in Banaue is to get the most magnificent view that you can get of the Banaue Rice Terraces. After all, you went there to see what this so called “Eighth Wonder of the World” looks like. The View Point is on the main road on the outskirts of the town, about 4km from the town centre. A guide is not necessary and it is a good walk if you are up to it. You will need a guide if you want to trek there through the terraces. Early morning or late afternoon is usually the best time because the shadows cast add an extra dimension to the terraces - the midday sun can make the terraces look dead. There are many souvenir shops crowded into a small area at the view point, but they don’t get in the way when you are on the view deck. Enjoy an overnight stay in a Standard Room at the Banaue Hotel or Similar.
