Itinerary
Step off the beaten path and into the heart of the Philippines with the "Explore Ifugao Villages" tour. This five-day guided trip invites both young adults and seniors to delve into Ifugao’s legendary terraced landscapes, starting with a hike from Banaue. Experience the breathtaking views of amphitheater-like rice terraces, misty mountains, and cascading waterfalls as you visit four unique villages—each revealing different facets of the region’s rich cultural tapestry.
From the village of Pula to the iconic Batad, and finally to Bangaan, you’ll walk age-old paths, meet local residents, and learn firsthand about the customs and history of the Ifugao people—the proud architects of the world-famous rice terraces. Nights spent in traditional villages offer a rare opportunity for cultural exchange and immersion.
The unique selling point of this tour package is its deep engagement with both nature and community, making it perfect for travelers eager to experience authentic village life and awe-inspiring scenery.

12 Days in the Philippines
The trip included a lot more than the Ifugao villages. I had 4 nights in Manila, 2 nights in Banaue, 2 nights in Sagada, 2 nights in Bohol and 3 nights in El Nido. I had great guides and drivers during the entire trip. The scenery in Banaue and El Nido was great. I had very poor experiences with the accommodations in Sagada and El Nido. I also thought that the trip was overpriced for the quality of the accommodations. I had two excursions scheduled for El Nido, and due to safety concerns about the the first excursion, I chose to not participate in the second. As a person who's broken her left wrist twice in the last 20 years, I don't like to take chances walking through 4 feet of water on uneven rocks, even with boat crew assistance.
