4-day Sagada and Banaue tour from Manila with UNESCO Ifugao terraces, cave spelunking, waterfalls, and hanging coffins, with English guides.
“An Excellent tour. The local guide, Zohan (a.k.a. Mark) is extremely knowledgeable and passionate about the history and traditions of his area. He is very open and makes the three day experience far more memorable than it would be by simply visiting the sites alone.

Also note that some of the attractions are physically challenging to get to with steep steps around the rice terraces and slippery rocks in the cave”
