The very famous Bangaan Rice Terraces is an hour drive away from Banaue town. It is also regarded as the eighth natural wonder in the world. Enjoy the 20 minute trek down to the village that is located at the bottom of the terraces. This lovely village is a typical Ifugao community. It showcases the customs and traditions of the people.
The mountain slopes in Banaue are generally steep. It is a common scene to witness a hanging suspension bridge as an access to villages across ravines. A journey through these swaying bridges over a great height while walking through, gives enough thrill for the tourists.
There are many good view points along the road, but the best is the farthest one. The best time to visit the view point is very early in the morning. At this time, most tourists are still in bed, so that the place is generally not too crowded at this time. The view when the sun touches the tips of the mountains is one of the most extraordinary sights in the world. Let the beauty of the nature seep into your soul and rejuvenate it.
