Batad Banaue Rice Terraces Weekend Get Away

Alas, I was able to set foot at the UNESCO World Heritage Site - the rice terraces of Batad. I was mesmerised by the stunning beauty of the terraces and I adore the devotion and great patience of the ancient Ifugao people who built and sculpted this mountainous staircases from the mountain province of Ifugao 2,000 years ago.

After an 8 hours overnight bus travel to Banaue we arrived at 6 AM. A Chartered Jeep was waiting for us and brought us to a cafeteria where we took our breakfast before we begin our adventure to Batad.

We are ready for the adventure and we are on the rooftop of the jeepney because our tour guide says this is the ideal thing to do so that we could see and appreciate more the magnificent beauty of the mountains.

Trekking the Batad rice terraces going to Tappiah Falls!

Batad Village with more than 1,500 people.

After a long journey our prize is Tappiah Falls!

Manila to Batad:

Take a bus to Banaue. On our part we took  Ohayami Bus, the Ohayami Bus Station is located at (Lacson St. Sampaloc Manila) and the fare was 450 pesos. 

Once you arrived at the Banaue town you can inquire at the Tourism booth and you can find a tour guides who offer thier services in a very minimal fee. You can rent a jeepney going to Batad and it takes 45 minutes going to the starting point before you trek going to Batad village because there is no other mode transporation except walking.
