Apart from exploring these well-preserved terraces, tourists can also wander through Banaue's lush landscapes, visit local traditional villages, engage in outdoor activities like hiking and trekking or simply get immersed in the rich Ifugao culture. This highland haven offers travelers an unparalleled blend of natural beauty, cultural history, and thrilling adventure.
