| Wahtever you do don't miss Banaue. Banaue is eight hours' bus ride north of Baguio. A remote mountain community lives
here, and tourists can visit their settlements. The beautiful rice terraces are the main attraction of this area. A breathtaking sight, they rise majestically to an altitude of 1525m (5000ft), and
encompass an area of 10,360 sq km (4000 sq miles). The terraces were hand-carved some 2000years ago using crude tools cutting into once barren rock, each ledge completely encompassingnthe mountain. Now listed by UNESCO as World Heritage sites, they offer an unforgettable sight totourists and trekkers in the area |
