Itinerary

  1. Day 1

    Manila to Banaue

    Your hotel pickup in Manila happens around 07:00am, and from there you're heading 360 km north to Banaue. Along the way, there's a stop in Bacolor where you'll see St. Guillermo Church, which sits half-buried in volcanic lahar from Mt. Pinatubo's 1991 eruption. The route takes you through Luzon's central plains and then starts climbing as you approach the Cordillera region. You'll arrive in Banaue by evening after a full day of driving through changing landscapes.

After lunch, the drive to Sagada includes stops at scenic viewpoints along the highway.

    The trip was absolutely incredible. First of all thanks to Terry who was an incredible guide - super knowledgeable, brilliantly friendly and always going above and beyond. The trip around Japan was fantastic. Every day we packed in multiple brilliant activities but we’re also given time to spend as our own family at our own pace and do what we wanted. Terry had amazing suggestions for these periods! Also lucky to have such an amazing group and meet some lovely people.
