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.

I happened to find RoutePerfect.com just by Google search when my wife and I were talking about the possibility of traveling in Europe. It's an amazing website that really helped us plan the perfect trip! The planning process was very easy, and the suggestions that the site made for us really helped and we were able to find many awesome places. The selection of the hotels was great and I really like how the site is linked with TripAdvisor to make sure that you are picking a good hotel. The package price was very good, and cheaper than other sites.

The trip was amazing. Your site was really easy to use and the hotels we stayed at were what we expected. The overall experience using the site, getting around Italy for two first timers was easy and provided an incredible trip.
