Go on an adventure for a week across an amazing and surprising part of the Philippines. You will go through the Cordillera, a mountainous region which is 300km north of Manila. On your way, you will encounter a few tribes whose members kept their ancient traditions. Among those tribes, the most famous is probably the Ifugaos who designed the well-known rice terraces of Banaue. To reach those, you will take the Halsema Highway, an altitude road. For a week, you will follow a great itinerary, mixing culture, road trip and hikes. It may be at some point physically demanding but that’s the price to pay to reach the stars.
