DAY 2 BANAUE - SAGADA
Board a local jeepney to explore the breathtaking scenery and rich traditional culture of Banaue. Along the roadside near the local church, a 10-storey house perched on the mountain slopes demonstrates the Ifugaos’ remarkable engineering skills and adaptability. Nearby, observe a tilapia pond and fighting cocks being bred. Twists and turns along the main road lead to numerous rice terraces, with ample stops for photographs. Our first panoramic view of the terraces is best at Barangay Viewpoint, where a marker proclaims the Banaue Rice Terraces a UNESCO World Heritage Site and an international landmark of historic civil engineering. Believed to be over 2,000 years old, these terraces were painstakingly built by ancient tribesmen in an area almost devoid of level land. Using primitive tools, they carved shelves from the mountainsides, sealing the walls with clay. Each terrace is irrigated by a carefully designed system of water channels running from upper to lower paddies. When thick mist settles over the terraces, it evokes staircases reaching toward the sky, earning them the poetic name “Stairway to the Sky.” In the afternoon, continue to Sagada, with ample stops at scenic viewpoints along the highway to admire the rice terraces. Visit Bontoc Museum, founded by Belgian nuns, housing a fascinating collection of artifacts from the mountain tribes of the region. Arrive in Sagada in the evening, check-in at a local inn, and overnight.

Next, proceed to Baclayon, with a brief stop at the historic Blood Compact Site, where Spain’s Miguel Lopez de Legazpi and local chieftain Datu Sikatuna sealed their friendship with a symbolic drink. In Baclayon, visit a centuries-old stone church that houses a museum displaying religious art, ecclesiastical vestments, and church music librettos inscribed in Latin on animal skins. Continue the journey passing through Bilar’s man-made forest, a dense stretch of towering mahogany trees lining the highway leading to the Chocolate Hills, Bohol’s geological marvel. From a distance, the hills resemble giant candy drops, changing color with the seasons and earning the name “chocolate” when the grasses turn deep brown in summer.
