Banaue-Sagada A 7 days Northern Adventure Trip

The oldest rice terraces in the world are the Banaue Rice Terraces. The indigenous Filipino ancestors carved the terraces, which are 2,000 years old. The purpose of a trip to the Rice Terraces is to experience the distinctive natural and cultural heritage of the Philippines in the area.

One of Ifugao's five cultural landscape-related sites is the Hapao Rice Terraces, which are on the UNESCO World Heritage List. It is approximately one hour away from Banaue and is in the municipality of Hungduan. According to the tourism officer, the Hapao Rice Terrace stands out from the other five sites because it is the longest and you cannot actually see its two ends.

A great place to see all the beauty of Ifugao and Hungduan village. The hot spring is a nice reward after a 30-45 minute hike from main road.

A UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Philippine Ifugao's rice terraces cover 10,360 square kilometers (approximately 4,000 square miles) of steep, mountainous terrain in hand-carved terraces that look like mazes, some of which are more than 2,000 years old.

A massive river fall from its brink, around 30 meters in height, is imposing. It seems that all the streams of the mountains convened together to create a gigantic spring of water.

Sagada Pottery is a collective of three renowned ceramic artists from Sagada, Mountain Province: Siegrid Bangyay, Teresita Baldo, and Ardeth Angway Butic, all of whom are from the Applai Kankanaey indigenous peoples. Experience one of the oldest form of tradition in Sagada, the pottery making which most of the people mastered this kind of tradition.

First, the Kankanaey believe that, from a spiritual standpoint, the higher the corpse is placed, the closer it is to heaven and the sacred ancestors. Furthermore, the Kankanaey needed to safeguard their bodies after death as well as could be expected, yet in addition let them find happiness in the hereafter.

One of the fewer than one hundred caves beneath Sagada is Sumaguing Cave, which is the largest cave in Sagada. The stone developments were worked naturally millennia prior.

Marlboro Hills is Sagada’s highest peak that has a breathtaking 360 unobstructed view of the mountain ranges. It is also a great view point of the sunrise and sea of clouds

Blue Soil Slopes, Kaman-utek is an arresting spread of somewhat blue green hills in Balili, Bontoc. Although it has been communally accepted to be politically located within the municipality of Bontoc, this area has also been referred to as the Blue Soil of Sagada.

A 200-foot column of water and wonder is formed by Bomod-ok's cold, cold water cascading from the top of a beautiful naturally contoured cliff to a pool below. The trek was easy to begin. The substantial way that prompts the falls is not difficult to stroll on.

The summer capital of the Philippines is Baguio City. A highland retreat in the Grand Cordillera in Northern Luzon with pine trees, crisp cold breezes, and low verdant knolls and hillocks is what the name Baguio conjures up for both domestic and international travelers.
