Banaue Rice Terraces


Dubbed the "Eighth Wonder of the World," the Banaue Rice Terraces are a breathtaking testament to ancient Filipino engineering. Carved into the mountains over 2,000 years ago, these terraced fields depict the harmony between man and nature. As you trek, meet Ifugao farmers, learn about traditional farming techniques, and absorb panoramic vistas that change with each season, from verdant greens to golden yellows.

Wander through stilted huts, witness traditional crafts like weaving and woodcarving, and engage with local artisans. The village also hosts workshops, dance performances, and art exhibitions, providing a holistic immersion into the Ifugao way of life, keeping ancient traditions alive.

Tappiya Waterfall


Tappiya WaterfallaA hidden gem beyond the rice terraces, Tappiya Waterfall cascades majestically into a natural pool. The journey, a trek through verdant jungles and quaint villages, is as enchanting as the destination. Once there, the thundering sound of the waterfall and the inviting emerald waters offer a refreshing break, making the trek worthwhile. It's a perfect spot to relax, rejuvenate, and marvel at nature's splendour.

Banaue Ethnic Village


A cultural haven, the Banaue Ethnic Village brings alive the traditions of the Ifugao people. Wander through replicas of traditional Ifugao homes, each showcasing distinctive architectural styles and indigenous crafts. Learn about the tribe's customs, from rice cultivation to spiritual rituals. Engaging hands-on experiences like pottery, wood carving, and weaving sessions let visitors dive deep into the heart of Ifugao culture.

Banaue Museum


Owned by a prominent anthropologist, the Banaue Museum houses an extensive collection of tribal artifacts, showcasing the rich cultural tapestry of the Cordillera region. Ancient weapons, traditional attire, jewellery, and photographs from expeditions provide insights into the bygone eras of the highland tribes. Each artifact tells a tale of resilience, craftsmanship, and the deep-rooted traditions of the Ifugao people.

Banaue Viewpoint


Positioned strategically along the main road, the Banaue Viewpoint offers unparalleled views of the rice terraces. Multiple decks provide various vantage points, capturing the terraces' grandeur as they stretch out, cascading down valleys and climbing up mountain flanks. Early mornings see the terraces draped in mist, while sunsets bathe them in a golden hue, offering mesmerizing photo opportunities.
