Day 1<\/h2>\n

Start of the North Luzon round trip
\nIn the morning you will be picked up from your hotel in Manila, where we will take the highway directly to Pampanga, where the Church of San Guillermo is located, the church is known for being halfway buried in lahar (A wet mass of volcanic fragments flowing rapidly downhill. Lahar usually contain ash, breccia, and boulders mixed with rainwater or with river or lake water displaced by the lava flow associated with the volcano.) The church is a historical testimony of Pinatubo\u2019s last eruption in 1991.
\nAfterwards you will continue to experience a diverse landscape, crossing the former flood area of \u200b\u200bthe volcano. The Dalton Pass, (which is a zigzag road and mountain pass connecting two provinces in northern Luzon) then heads up to Banaue, where you will stay at the well-known Banaue Hotel.<\/p>\n

Day 2<\/h2>\n

You can choose between Batad or Hapao \/ Hiwang
\nEither you make your way to Batad, which is considered the best spot to see the rice terraces. Or you can get on a four-wheel drive on adventurous roads to Hapao.
\nIn the evening you will return to the Banaue Hotel.<\/p>\n

Day 3<\/h2>\n

Transfer to Sagada
\nToday we will travel from Banaue to Bontoc, where you will experience the notorious Halsema Highway with its breathtaking gorges.

Afterwards you will drive to Sagada, where another highlight awaits! \u201cThe Hanging Coffins\u201d in the Echo Valley. There is rich opportunity to shoot great photos in this spectacular mountainous world. You will spend an adventurous night in this atmosphere at the Rusty Nail Inn, incl. breakfast.<\/p>\n

Day 4<\/h2>\n

Baguio City
\nAfter breakfast, go on a discovery tour and explore other attractions such as the large caves and a hike across the rice fields. It is also possible to go on a mountain hike including a trip to the waterfalls, in this case an additional overnight stay in Sagada would make sense – we will take this into consideration when planning your trip.<\/p>\n
