My first time in Tappiya Falls but second time in Ifugao.The place is really far-the cliffs are no joke and it's kind of scary at first, the road is concrete up to the dead end where you need to walk, walk, walk for about an hour ( that's in our case and experienced) You also need to log your name at the Tourist Center.
YOU NEED A TOUR GUIDE !
We went on a hike at 5:00 in the morning, and reached the Tappiya Falls for about 7:00 in the morning. Guys, the earlier you hike, the more chances you're gonna see a rainbow! I am so blessed to personally experienced and see it. Be careful in walking because some are steep concrete stairways . I actually struggled going there - it's really far from the Inn and the stairs are crazy! You will first experience the beauty of the rice terraces before reaching the Tappiya Falls.

On second thought, given that my legs were conditioned for an extreme activity, I ran from Banaue to Batad. Well, you have that instinct when you learn to love running.
In addition, should not the tourism cost reflects also sanitation? I respect the practice of chewing betel nut, however, should everyone spit everywhere?
Undoubtely, Banaue is throughly amazing. May it shine...
Read more#SirangLente #AimFor81 #PinasMuna #ItsMoreFunInThePhilippines - In the middle of the mountains of Ifugao, we found a hidden gem called Tappiya Falls situated in "Batad," a secluded village in Banaue. Getting to this majestic beauty includes 7 to 12 hours land travel and 2 hours trekking. It's a bit challenging but you will be rewarded with a breathtaking landscape that can only be found in this region, including the world famous Batad Rice Terraces. Not just artistic in creating the terraces, the people of Batad also know how to value and preserve whatever their ancestors left, such as...
