Located in Ifugao province in Northern Luzon, the Banaue rice terraces are often referred to as the eight wonder of the world. These impressive terraces were created by hand over a period of about 2,000 years. Home for the Ifugao people this is truly an amazing place to visit. At an altitude of about 1,200 meters it also presents a nice escape from the hot and humid environments common through much of the rest of the country.
Now known as the Puerto Princesa Subterranean River National Park, it was the Underground River when we visited in 2000. Very beautiful area with lots of wildlife, great harbour and beach and interesting cave.
Had a wonderful stay where we took daily island hopping trips and got our first taste of snorkling and the incredible underwater world of the Philippines. While the accomodations were basic, the view was incredible and meeting and mixing with the local people and feasting with them at night was one of our most memorable trips.
