Location Information



Banaue and the surroundings are located about 450 km, 8-10 hour drive from Manila and forms the getaway to explore the rice terraces in the area. The fastest way to Banaue however is to fly to Cauayan city which is a four hour drive from Banaue. The Ifugao people living here are a fierce bunch. Tribal wars were common and headhunting expeditions between tribes were documented well into the 60's. They are strong and particularly proud. Occasionally you may still see old women or man in traditional cloths at the local market, some of which displaying parts of beautiful tribal tattoos. At the Banaue viewpoint, which is included in our tours, some elderly tribals wear these traditional clothing for photo opportunities in exchange for an expected donation. Banaue rice terraces also called the "Eight wonder of the World" is famous for its spectacular 2000 year old, completely hand built, rice terraces and one of the must-visit places in the Philippines. The whole area is covered with rice terraces you can explore, so it is just how much time you have.

Near Banaue, in Kiangan, is where Ifugao and American troops helped force General Yamashita (captured in mayoyao) to make his informal surrender in World War II and we can stop here too, should you be interested. This side tour takes 1 extra hour. A "must see" is the Banaue Museum which gives you a glimpse of Ifugao's culture, history and tradition. So is the Banaue Viewpoint.
We usually book the government owned - and highest standard available - "Banaue Hotel" (closed for renovation) which offers standard as well as deluxe rooms (note that this accommodation is quite old and dark). Near Banaue hotel, an easy and pleasant 10 min walk you can find Tama-an village, here you can visit a native house, weaving shop and a small museum. Also there is a small handicrafts shop where you may buy some local handicrafts here though in Banaue town they have a wider selection.

We, however, also offer pension houses such as "Sanafe Lodge" (a bit noisy as its located near the market) in Banaue town or the quiet and beautiful "Native Village Inn" (toilet and shower outside) a 20 mins drive from Banaue. Other options to stay overnight are Tam-an and Banaue Heritage Hotel and Museum. Tourist feedback is that the "Las Vegas" restaurant is one of the better ones in Banaue.
From Banaue trips can be made to the hot spring and rice terraces of Hapao (oldest rice terraces), Bangaan, Mayoyao (famous also for tombs) and by far the most popular and visited village of Batad. Near the Batad viewpoint Simons and Hillside Inn offer enjoyable meals. Bangaan and Mayoyao are both Unesco World Heritage sites. Walking through the rice terraces require some level fitness and good balancing!!! Mayoyao rice terraces, a 1 hour drive from Batad can be visited after the viewpoint of Batad, the overnight will spent in Helen's guesthouse.

Local requirements forces us when staying in Banaue hotel to rent a jeepney to Batad parking area and Bangaan, although the roads have been so much improved that you can easily drive a sedan to the parking area ,drop off point for walking to Batad viewpoint, where you can enjoy the stunning panorama of the rice terraces of batad. These days the hike from the parking area to the viewpoint takes these days only 15 min walk, unlike in the old days it took a 2 hour strenuous hike.
When you arrive at the Batad viewpoint you can continue a 3 hour kike back and forth, up and down, to the Tippiya waterfall (you can swim here) or least strenuous, 1,5 hours hike, Batad Village. Overnights we book in Batad (Hillside Inn or Robertos Abung Hotel, which has rooms that have private toilets) and Bangaan (Bangaan inn) and overnights are rather basic. Bath and toilet are shared.

The starting point for the Nag/kor trail, a 2/3 or days hike, is in Banaue at Awan-Igid. You will passby Pula and overnight in Cambulo and the trek takes about 5 hours. From Cambulo to Batad takes another 3 with option to stay overnight in Batad or continue to Bangaan which takes another 2-3 hours.


Sagada is a prosperous town composed of mostly farming families and others associated with agriculture, used to be a hippie hangout, still breezing its tranquil atmosphere and recommended for an overnight stay. It is located a 2 hours drive from Banaue, a 30 minutes drive from Bontoc, 5 hours drive from Baguio, 6 hours from Vigan and 7 hours from Tugugarao. English is very well spoken and the community is predominantly Episcopalian. Few Spaniards set foot in Sagada during the Spanish Era, and a Spanish Mission was not founded until 1882. As a result, it is one of a few places that has preserved its indigenous culture with little Spanish influence. Its inhabitants, originating from Indonesia, are known for their local rituals on death, cave burial grounds with hanging coffins located in the "Echo Valley". Not everyone is qualified to be buried this way; among other things, one had to have been married and had grandchildren.
Another exciting highlight of the trip (not suitable for everyone since very slippery and leaving you slightly muddy !) is navigating "Sumaguing Caves". The adventurous among you can jump in the cave’s freezing main pool, or even try the cave connection if you are not claustrophobic. If time allows you could also have a look at the "Bomod-Ok big waterfalls" which takes 3 hour hike back and forth and "Kiltepan Peak" to see sunrise and great views. Since this is weather dependent and requires a 04:30 am wake-up time, Kiltepan peak is of interest to few. Other activities includes trekking, spelunking, rappelling and visiting historical sites. Recently you may also do the Coffee making tour. People from this area are also known as Igorots. There are no tricycles here, which is seemingly a blessing. Note though that during Philippine summer holidays it can be run over by the locals. No night life is available, nor in other places in the Sagada area and even a curfew time is in place. Sagada offers some good restaurants and coffee shops especially "Banas Coffee", "Yoghurt House", "Masferre" "log cabin" or, for vegetarians Guiya restaurant.
Bontoc is the largest city and the trading center of the Ifugao region and a 30 minutes ride from Sagada. From either Bontoc or Sagada possible tailor-made extensions to our tours can be organized to remote Kalinga, one of the most unexplored areas of the North. A visit to the Bontoc museum is a must, so we made it part of all our tours going to Sagada. The charming Bontoc Museum offers a well organized exhibition of interesting photographs back from the headhunting days, jewelry, weapons and more. In Bontoc dog is still being served in some restaurants. If you happen to be in Bontoc on Saturday morning the local market should not be missed, people from the mountains bring their goods to sell. The Bontoc Festival is held in the first week of April. For overnights we recommend "the Archok Hotel". The Maligcong rice terraces rivals Batad rice terraces in beauty and is a 30 min drive away from Bontoc.
Kalinga

Kalinga, with its capital Tabuk, where traditional tribal lifestyle continue almost unchanged but (thankfully) the practice of headhunting ceased decades ago. The people in Kalinga are proud of their warrior culture so treat them with respect and let your guide do the talking. Traditional law applies and the government has little influence in this area. The remote and magnificent countryside is blessed with high peaked mountains, rice terraces, waterfalls and hot springs. Especially in the June to December wet season the area is vulnerable to landslides and therefore planned trips could be cancelled. The military and NPA are still operating in this area and travelling at night should be avoided at all times. If you are not familiar in the area, always bring a guide who can lead the way and who is familiar with the locals. Although considered by Filipino's from other provinces as a unsafe area, the people from Kalinga are very accommodating and you will not feel unsafe at all. Most of our client experienced the Buscalan tattoo village to be the highlight of our tailor made tours which can be reached from the parking area in 20 minutes.

Busculan is the most popular village in Kalinga among our guests to visit, and included in your private, customized mountains of the Philippines tour if you opt to include Kalinga as part of your journey. Finding this truly amazing, older woman that does many different tattoos forms one of the highlights of small town life. Be warned that the all manual technique she uses can be painful, but you will walk away with a truly unique souvenir from your visit to the remote Kalinga Mountains.


Baguio, nickname "Summer capital of the Philppines" can be reached by 4-5 hours drive from Manila, 4 hours from Vigan. From Sagada it takes 5,5 hours via one of the most scenic routes in the North, the Frans Halsema highway. Baguio at 1700 m high was established by the Americans in 1900 as a hill station. Baguio's main source of income is tourism and is the commercial hub from the nearby provinces. It hosts 250,000.00 students, making it the University town of the North. This influx of people and urbanization has also a negative effect, however, as the traffic rivals the traffic jams of Manila. Baguio can be viewed as a crossroads between the hill tribe culture and the lowland settlers. Although very crowded during summer months you can retreat to the Baguio Botanic Gardens, Wright and Burnham parks, Camp John Hay a formerly us military recreation facility and Mines View Park offering peace and fresh air. Other places of interest are Baguio Museum, the Presidential summer house "The Mansion", the butterfly sanctuary and Tamawan Village. Our foreign guests mostly like the Ben Cap museum. Ben Cap is one of the most famous artists in The Philippines. Ben cap museum is also good for having a coffee or lunch and offers a nice garden and great view over the ocean. Please note that this museum is closed on Mondays and on other days it opens at 9am. The "wood carving village" is near and good to pick up some handicrafts.
We have no time to view all these tourist places, most have been of little interest to our foreign guests and reason that Baguio is mostly skipped in our guest's itinerary. However, If you could plan a date to visit Baguio we recommend the end of February to see the famous Flower Festival. We offer overnight stays in John Hay Hotel (best around) and was established by the Americans to house their officers and the former American governer. Le Monet is located in the same area and best alternative if John Hay Hotel is fully booked. For lower budgets we book mostly in Baguio City Microtel or El Cielito Inn. Restaurants in Baguio include: Cafe by the Ruins (a mix of local cuisine with the native way of cooking), Cafe Baterol inside Camp John Hay and their al-fresco garden restaurant, (recommended dish Baterol Chocolate) and for fine dining Forest House next to Camp John Hay (romantic, good wine and a piano bar).
For the more physically fit and interested in hiking we could organize a trip to Mt. Pulag, the third highest mountain in the Philippines and highest in Luzon. We either have to rent a Jeepney, equipment and guide or if you are with our 4x4 on tour we can drive until 4 km from the summit followed by a fairly easy walk. Unfortunately the natural caves where the Kabayan mummies, listed on 1998 World Monuments Watch are being kept are closed. However, you can still see one or two mummies in the museum of Kabayan which is a 2 hour ride on a rough road from Baguio.


Vigan was originally a settlement of traders coming from China. Vigan's Chinese heritage is still evident from the numerous elite Chinese creole families, who come from the area, many of whom adopted Hispanic family names. At the start of World War II Vigan was one of the first places in the Philippines invaded by Japan, and in 1945 by American ground troops whom aided by Ilocano resistance fighters, defeated the Japanese and liberated Vigan.

Vigan can be reached from Manila in 10 hours or from Sagada in 5.5 hours by one of the most scenic routes, the remarkably quiet Cervantes road. It's best to take your lunch from Bontoc or Sagada and enjoy the amazing scenery. On the way you will pass Nambung, a natural park and the Bessang Pass monument, where the three long years of resistance by Filipinos and Americans took place against the last stronghold of the Japanese imperial forces under Gen. Tomoyuki Yamashita. These days we also offer a new routing via Aquino road which saves 1 hour travelling time.

The town of Vigan, the capital of Ilocos Sur Vigan, was listed in 1999 by Unesco. Vigan with its cobblestone streets, is worth a visit and is the best preserved example of Spanish colonial towns in Asia. Its architecture is the conglomeration of cultural elements from the Philippines, China, and Spain, making it unique in the world.
Most of the sights can be enjoyed by taking a Calesa ride (in our standard itinerary) and includes Vigan Burgos and Crisologo Museum, Syquia mansion (the former house of former Philippine President Marcos), Hidden Gardens, Pottery factories, St Paul and Bantay Church. Depending on the routing we either visit the Santa Maria Church, also a Unesco World Heritage Site underway going to Vigan if coming from Sagada or after Vigan if coming from Laoag. Each Jan 25 Vigan celebrates their Festival We recommend overnights in newly renovated old Spanish boutique hotels such as Luna (the best around), La Casa Blanca Vigan Hotel, Ciudad, Gordion, and Vigan Plaza Hotel. Good for a romantic dinner, serving mainly local food however, is "the Hidden Garden" however it closes at 6pm.
From Vigan we can drive in 2 hours to Laoag, home area of former President Marcos. Beside Paoay Church and the sand dunes, good for sand boarding, the most interesting places to visit are the Marcos Museum, Marcos ancestral home and the so called "Malacanang of the North", the opulent former residence of the Marcos family. Instead of driving for 2 hours back to Vigan for your overnight stay you can also choose to take a one hour flight back from Laoag to Manila.
If Pagudpud is your destination than underway an old Spanish light house and Bangui windmills can be viewed. The best place for overnights in Blue Lagoon (20 km from Pagudpud) is Pakuluan Resort, their restaurant is serving delicious organic food. Unfortunately the huge and dominating Hanna's resort is affecting negatively the "blue lagoon feeling".

10 km after Pagudpud Kingfisher Resort, though a surfing resort is the best place to stay overnight. After your stay you will be brought to the airport in Laoag for your flight back to Manila unless you take the routing to Manila by car. On the crossroad going to Blue Lagoon from Pagudpud your lunch can be taken in Bergblick restaurant serving German and local dishes. If you drive back to Manila from Vigan (10-12 hours drive) a one day stop can be made at Hundred Islands (barbecue on the beach plus snorkeling, Baguio or in San Juan at Final option resort. Closer to Manila we can overnight in Microtel in Tarlac or Alvin's Place for your Mount Pinatubo tour the next day, in Subic (Lighthouse Hotel) or Las casas for the world war 2 tour to complete your excursion in North Luzon.


More common is to customize your Northern Philippines vacation with a visit to "the Hundred Islands National Park".The islands are believed to be about two million years old. They are actually ancient corals. The lowering of the sea level has exposed them to the surface. Needless to say that island hopping is the main activity and Filipino's love to bbq here on the beach. The snorkeling is quite good and big clams can be spotted. Hundred islands are very popular among the local tourists and therefore travelling during local holidays better to be avoided. Before or after visiting the 100 islands we stay overnight in Olana Bed & Breakfast (cozy and family run) in Alaminos. Interesting for some to know is that Lingayan Bay is where the Americans and Japanese clashed during the world war 2, 24 ships were sunk and another 67 were damaged on both sides!

Another stop which can be made underway from Vigan to Manila is San Juan. San Juan has a long and wide beach with greyish sand. Surfing can be learned here, but the waves cannot be compared with Baler and especially Surigao in Mindanao. Our favorite place to stay is at Kahuna resort. If you have time on your side, opt to hangout here for a day or two. There is nothing else to do except lazing around and swimming.
After visiting San Juan or 100 islands you can proceed to Bolinao, 1 hour ride from entry of 100 islands (alaminos) and 7 hours drive from Manila. Puerto del Sol is the best place in the area and if you happened to have the time on your hand and want to relax you can consider to stay overnight here. The sea here is quite shallow and not good for swimming but the food, view, service, room and the swimming pools of the resort are quite good.

Before going back to manila and on the last day of your Northern Luzon trip you could consider a tour to Mount Pinatubo (overnight at Alvins place), Subic (overnight in lighthouse resort), Puning hot spring (overnight at Quest hotel in clark) and Bataan (overnight in las Casas) to complete your North Luzon experience.

It's a very Filipino oriented place, probably best around therefore don't expect a foreign menu. The location is nice, opposite a rice field and not along the main road which is a blessing if you like quietness.
Rooms are simple, clean, spacious but come with a small bed. All rooms come with wifi, old tv and safety deposit box.


Helens Guest House

Helen's Guest House was built for the Family, but they decided to offer their house to tourists. The rooms are well built, very clean and have the best-looking bathrooms in Mayoyao. The family is very accommodating. Our package rate includes breakfast and dinner. They have a family room with 2 twin sized bed, 4 rooms with 1 twin/double size bed with private bathroom which we book for our guests and 2 rooms with standard beds and shared bathroom.
