My Banaue Escapade
Banaue View from the first viewpoint. Banaue is famous for its centuries-old terraces. Going to the place is in itself rewarding. That is if you are traveling during the day.

For me, the last route is the best where you can see the exhilarating views of the region’s mountain ranges that earned its name Cordillera.
