    Gorgeous 2 days trek in Banaue rice terraces
    We’ve done a 2 days trek in the banaue rice terraces and it was gorgeous 🤩 The trek was not easy due to a typhoon that occurred 2 days before (the paths were a little damaged but nothing dangerous). Our guide (Graham Zoro Hangdaan) was just simply the best (very friendly, he knows his region very well and love it 😊). He also speak a little bit French. The experience and the landscapes that you can live during the trek are just astonishing

    Stunning
    As a wonder of the world this does not disappoint. Be prepared to walk down 300+ steps to the village and find out about rice growing in this area. You can borrow/ire a walking pole at the top to help you over the uneven surfaces. The people of the village are warm and friendly and will show you around. A briliant morning.

    Worth visiting especially if you stay in Batad
    I think this place is spectacular. Don't take a guide, just stay with locals in Batad (I stayed with Christina Inn right in the middle of the rice fields). The place is a true wonder. If you want to trek you can do 3 days trekking but for that you may need a guide.

Now I know the reason I see less postcards of this once majestic, ' wonder of the world ' location - urbanization has ruined it.

We completely recommend the 3 days trek with our amazing guide Jercy Cabbigat (you can contact him on Messenger).
Breathtaking landscapes of the rice terraces. Kind people. Real experience in the nature and villages of Banaue area.
The hiking is easy enough for untrained walkers in good health.
We slept in small typical hotels in the villages.
Jercy was a great guide, very convenient who knows perfectly the region ; he can come to get hikers at Banaue bus station.

My wife and I have fond memories of our stay in Banaue. Jercy was helpful day after day. He knows how to adapt very quickly to the circumstances and shows responsibility: a rock in the middle of the rice fields. To top it all off, he is really a good and nice guy.
You can contact him on Messenger and his name is Jercy Cabbigat.

The entire experience was exhilarating and physically challenging. Our guide, June, did an excellent job at pacing us and giving us breaks while also educating us on the history and local customs and way of life in the terraces. He was thoughtful and patient and always offering to take our pictures. We had a blast and learned so much.
