Early in the morning we leave Angeles
City (or the end point of a previous travel module).
We drive through the rice fields and the hill- and
mountain landscapes of the provinces of Tarlac, Nueva
Ecija, Nueva Vizcaya and Ifugao. In the late afternoon
we arrive in Banaue. We visit the viewpoint and look
over the more then 2000 year old rice terraces.
These rice terraces are called
“The Eight Wonder of the World”,
and also called “The Stairway To
Heaven”. The more than 2000 years
old rice terraces are placed on the world heritage
list of Unesco. You have the opportunity to see, and
if you want to buy, the handmade souvenirs which are
made by the mountain tribes.
 
The next day we visit the Hapao
rice terraces and the hot water spring. The Ifugao
were once the feared headhunters who built many years
ago these rice terraces with the aid of very few tools.
 
After breakfast we visit one of
the most beautifull rice terraces Batad. For the strong
hikers we can continue to the waterfalls. Bring some
boxes of matches with you. The local population will
ask you directly for matches, a present that have
real value here. After receiving the small presents,
the local population will give you a warm welcome,
and we will see how the people live here.
After a 3 hours drive we make a
visit to the small, but interesting Bontoc museum.
This museum was established by a Belgian non. Here
you can see the culture- and daily tools of the Toradja-
en Dajak-tribes. These tribes come originally from
Indonesia and were until two generations ago headhunters.
We leave for the town Sagada which is at 1480 meters
high. In the Sagada weaving and Souvenirs shop, we
can watch weaving by hand from the traditional materials.
 
Our local experienced guide brings
us in the caves of Sagada with its many macabre coffins.
Of course our purpose is not collecting the skeleton
bones of the dead as souvenirs. We respect the remains
of the dead. A mystery, and unique in the world, are
the hanging coffins on the mountain walls. We also
visit echo valley, the underground river or the Bokong
waterfalls, a walk of about 20 minutes.
 
Tonight we stay in the bizar, Mapiyaaw
Sagada Pension with rock formations and beautiful
garden surroundings or in the middle of the small
town. From the balcony you can enjoy the beautiful
landscape and colorful sunset. The road from Sagada
to Baquio over the Van Halsema Mountain Highway is
a big adventure. If we are lucky we can make an average
speed of 25 kilometer an hour on the 130 kilometer
long road. The more then 5 hour drive brings us straight
through the breathtaking landscape of the Cordillera
mountains, an adventurous experience you will not
easily forget.
This tour is ideal as connection
to the ”100 Islands and San Fabian Tour”.
The ”Baguio, La Union and Vigan Tour”
are excellent to continue with.
