About this trip

The terraces of Ifugao were carved by hand and are still farmed by the families who built them. This trip spends most of its time on foot, on the terrace walls and village paths, with a guide from the area who knows whose fields you are crossing.

Batad has no road into the village. We walk down from the saddle with light day packs; a porter can carry your bag for a fee paid directly to them.
