Embark on a scenic and cultural journey to the heart of the Cordillera region, home to the iconic Banaue Rice Terraces, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Carved into the mountains by the Ifugao people over 2,000 years ago, these terraces are a testament to ancient ingenuity and a stunning example of sustainable farming.
Your tour begins at the Banaue Rice Terraces Viewpoint, where you'll take in panoramic views of the sprawling terraces that stretch across the landscape. Then, follow the Rice Trail, a guided scenic hike that brings you closer to the terraces and offers a deeper appreciation of their scale and beauty.
Next, visit a traditional Ifugao village, where you'll engage with the indigenous community whose ancestors built and continue to cultivate the terraces. Learn about their unique traditions, see how they live, and gain a deeper understanding of their way of life.
A traditional Ifugao lunch is included and will be served at a local village restaurant, offering a taste of authentic regional flavors.
