tourist center from Banuae will discourage you to come and stay here, saying there is no hotel, or we dont know. this is BS, there is great homestay (giovanni's place) and the area is 1000 time better than Banaue, with great walk, and hot springs. But the guide from Banaue dont make money here, as you have to take a local guide for the hot spring. you can come by yourself from Banaue there is jeepney hourly in the afternoon and sleep over in hapao. jeepney goes back daily to banaue 7.30 am

Spectacular terraces were carved out from mountain ranges some 2000 years ago with primitive handtools.
This is one of the most spectacular views and landscapes in my opinion. The rice terraces are over 1000 years old and it is impressive to see how it was built back in those days where they did not have electricity and modern heavy machinery. The villages are still quite disconnected from the world - not many spots where you have good WiFi coverage- especially around Batad. That’s not necessarily a bad thing as you’re assured of time away from the usual city life and enjoy nature in the best way possible. The villagers are very friendly and welcoming. Getting there - take a bus from Manila, about 8 hours by road. Tickets can be booked online quite easily. Please beware of the extreme AC in the Coda (purple) bus!! Carry jackets n cover yourself to survive. They DO NOT adjust the temperature even if you’re freezing! Once there I think 2 days is more than enough to cover the region and visit all the important spots - Banaue view point, Batad village and view point, Ducligan Snake river, San Fernando, etc. I stayed at Bogah home stay and had an absolutely AMAZING experience. I recommend getting in touch with Denwil ([email protected]) who can organize everything at pretty good deals. I even got to stay with his family in Batad and help them harvest the rice :) one of the highlights of my trip and something that you can do in June-July if the rice is ready for harvest. The hikes are definitely not easy so recommend good hiking shoes and appropriate hiking clothes/gear. Do go with a guide to ensure you’re headed on the right path. It’s quite slippery - especially after rains. Food is good - not great. Carry your own supply of snacks etc. to be safe. Not too many shops sound so good to stock up on the necessities. Rice wine is also something worth trying - I got lucky to get some of the fresh distilled wine from the freshly harvested rice and it was GOOD! :) Overall - I definitely think it’s a MUST DO while in Philippines. Really amazing and experience that you will remember over time.

I'm proud to be Kalinga ???? This is one of the most beautiful and best view that Kalinga people can be proud of. I've been here, for only 1 day because we passed this road and suddenly we stop to see the beauty of it. It is very amazing to take pictures in here,most especially when you are a photographer you can take many best sceniries that worth to keep. It is more interesting to stay in the top of the jeepney to see the real beauty of it. It is worth to stay here if usually you planned to travel. Even though we just passed in this, I can say that it is satisfying to view the beauty of it.♥️ I'll promise to be back there, soon. ✊

Northern blossom farms offer a one of a kind experience to travelers who love to take pictures, would love to enjoy a good view, and has a knack for flower farming. They offer a large variety of flowers that you can also purchase inside their store (they offer it cheap - fresh from the farm). I highly suggest going there during February to March were the flowers are mostly in bloom. They also offer accommodation to those who want to stay for a few days, They also serve a very decent cup of brewed coffee after the tour.

The 'mother of all parks' in Baguio city, the summer capital of the Philippines, is a 32.84-hectare park designed by, and named after, American architect and urban planner Daniel Hudson Burnham, who also designed the original plan for Baguio City as well as Dewey Boulevard (now Roxas Boulevard) in Manila. The park has 12 main areas, the most popular of which are the Burnham Lagoon, a man-made lake with rowboats for hire; a children's playground; a skating rink; the Rose Garden and the Picnic Grove.
A very nice park in the middle of Baguio City, there are lots of people visiting Burnham Park to enjoy and feel the cold weather of the City. You'll be surely enjoy your vacation and relaxed you from all of your problems.

We went up to the Philippines' summer capital in 2010 when we enrolled our eldest at the UP Baguio. Since then we are mesmerized by this small, old yet cosmopolitan mountain city built by the Americans and one of their many works there is the beautiful Camp John Hay. With its manicured green lawns bedecked by colorful flower of different and attractive colors the place is most ideal for visitors who delights in walking and whiling away their time amidst chirping birds, the scent of pine trees and the smiles of friendly people around. The place is home to excellent hotels like Manor and Forest Lodge Hotels that offer good food and attraction, excellent service and facilities equal to none. We fell in love with the city and we are now permanent residents of this beautiful mountain city. Thank you God for this gift of beautiful place of retirement.
