The terraces are located approximately 1500 meters (5000 feet) above sea level and cover 10,360 square kilometers (about 4000 square miles) of mountainside. They are fed by an ancient irrigation system from the rainforests above the terraces.

In and around Banaue you could be fascinated with the wonderful view of the man made rice terraces and feel the creep at the hanging coffins in Sagada and other scenic natural attractions. You will explore the the Northern part of the Philippines and experience the cold breeze of Baguio with spectacular views and embrace the heritage site of Vigan. It is one of the few Hispanic towns left in the Philippines whose structures has remained intact, and it is well known for its cobblestone streets and a unique architecture that fuses Philippine and Oriental building designs and construction, with colonial European architecture.

    Beste Hans,

    Wij zijn alweer 3 weken thuis en kijken terug op een fantastische vakantie op de Filipijnen.
    Graag willen wij hierbij nog enkele opmerkingen maken op het programma.

    Banaue: Leuk hotel, Sanafe Lodge, met heel vriendelijke eigenaresse en bediening. Prima ligging. Kamer eenvoudig en erg vochtig, uitkijkend op het dal.

    Eten, ontbijt en diner goed verzorgd.

    Lokale gids Nick en chauffeur Ben van de jeepney fantastische mensen. Aan de gids heb ik veel (letterlijke) steun gehad bij het afdalen en beklimmen van de rijstterrassen. Programma was prima en gaf een goed beeld van de omgeving.

    Sagada: Hotel St Joseph, triple room in een huisje

    Na aankomst lunch in Sagada en daarna door naar de caves. Lokale gids troffen we daar, maar zijn engels was erg slecht en hij wist ons ook niet erg veel te vertellen. Dankzij andere gidsen hebben wij wat meer achtergrond informatie gehad.Op 2 plaatsen hebben wij de coffins bekeken. Wigger, onze zoon is met een andere gids nog de diepe cave ingegaan, inderdaad niet geschikt voor ons.

    Door het weekend was het heel druk in Sagada zodat de meeste restaurants vol zaten en er zelfs lange wachtrijen ontstonden.

    Op aanraden van Carlos hebben wij voor de zondagavond alvast een reservering gemaakt in restaurant Log Cabin. Prima!

    Zondag de tocht naar Kalinga, de route was prachtig, de wandeling naar het dorp inspannend maar zeer de moeite waard. Behalve de tatoe vrouw heeft hij ons het hele dorp laten zien. Een mooie dag.

    De tocht van Sagada over de bergen en passen was schitterend en we kwamen mooi op tijd aan in Vigan. Prima hotel Luna! Stad verkend ‘s avonds de licht- en water show bekeken.

    Dinsdag Vigan bezocht met Carlos, helaas geen tijd voor de koetsjes daar een bezoek aan een kliniek ingelast moest worden ivm blaasontsteking. Wel nog bekeken de pottenbakkerij, niet echt spectaculair, en de musea, die pas om 10 uur open gaan dus vertrek om 8 uur is aan de vroege kant.De mansion is al enige tijd gesloten volgens Carlos. Lunch in het park, Hidden Garden, was prima.

    Laoag hebben wij niet meer bezocht daar we via de Paoay Church rechtstreeks naar het vliegveld zijn gereden.

    Carlos was een prima chauffeur, reed zeer veilig en was aangenaam gezelschap. Hij wist ons ook heel veel te vertellen over de Filipijnen. Hij was zeer flexibel en probeerde het maximale voor ons er uit te halen. Heel blij waren wij dat hij elke keer weer de juiste plaatsen wist te vinden voor de mooiste foto’s.

    Wij hebben het redelijk goed getroffen met het weer.

    Hans dank voor de organisatie van deze trip. Wij hebben er van genoten. Wij zijn altijd bereid om anderen te adviseren.

    Met vriendelijke groet,

    Paul, Emilie en Wigger Tims
