Surrounded on all sides by beautiful rice terraces, this popular town attracts visitors for its gorgeous views and rich Ifugao culture.

Banaue is a municipality in the province of Ifugao, Philippines. It is widely known as the site of the UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Batad Rice Terraces and Bangaan Rice Terraces. The Ifugao Rice Terraces begin at the base of the mountain range and extend several thousand feet upwards. Two of the terrace clusters in Banaue, namely Bangaan and Batad, are part of the UNESCO World Heritage inscription. Built 2,000 years ago, the rice terraces are irrigated by means of mountain streams and springs that have been tapped and channeled into canals that run downhill through the rice terraces.

The trip was wonderful. Your team reacted very quickly and sorted out any misunderstandings immediately. The route was properly calculated and, although I drove alone throughout the trip, it wasn't very tiring. As for the hotels, they were neat and clean, some especially friendly, bright, and walking distance from the city center. I have already recommended your website to my colleagues.

Your website was a revelation! Our holiday organizing would not have been possible without it! The minute I found the site and starting navigating it I was telling everyone about it. I played around with it for about 3 months before we actually booked our holiday in February 2016. It was amazing to see the distance and time between each destination and the routes we could take. Then going onto the hotel booking section was very easy. Your team were great when we were missing a confirmation email as well. We had an amazing trip and I would recommend to anyone travelling around instead of lying on a beach for 2 weeks. We also got engaged while we were in Rome, so it was the perfect holiday!!
