Banaue Rice Terraces

"Oh boy! It surely took a lot of blood, sweat and tears to curve such a beauty on a mountain."

A UNESCO World Heritage Place.

Beauties

Got to preserve the beauty - a great heritage from our ancestors that the next generations will pride of its unique beauty.

Comfortably Cold

Foggy Morning

"Hey, it's cold up here! Love it!" - Yasmin

On one of our travels to Banaue, we went farther upland (and that means >> colder weather) into the Heart of Cordillera in Sagada as a sidetrip; and oh boy, the Sumaguing cave exploration was a hit with my children.

Pros and Cons

Pros:"Comfortable Cold Weather, Fresh Mountain Air. Veggies."
Cons:"Rough roads (sometimes impassable) during rainy season"
In a nutshell:"Take Me Home, Country Roads" - J. Denver
