Most Underrated Place in the Philippines | Batad Rice Terrace Hike
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 23 ก.ค. 2024
- I think we have found the most underrated place in the Philippines!
Yesterday we left Manila and headed to Northern Philippines as arrived in Benaue to begin our three day hike to the Batad Rice Terraces.
This jaw dropping and bucket list spot must be done and seen to be believed. Day 1 we headed on our 7km hike to the small village of Cambulu where we stayed with the locals so we could get a better understanding of the Filipino culture.
The next day we woke up bright and early to continue our hike onto the Batad village situated the UNESCO world heritage rice terrace fields that are over 2000 years old.
Seriously up there with Macchu Picchu - do this asap!

Welcome to one of the most spectacular spots we have seen so far! Honestly the 3 day hike out to see the Batad Rice terraces was so unbelievably rewarding! Thanks for coming on this journey with us :)
Glad you visited the beautiful terraces. Been there 2015 and just love nature at its best!
Explore the most beautiful place in PH.. Batanes Islands
Since you're there, why not visit our national treasure Apo Wang Od and also try to see hanging coffin, those are one of the most visited place on the area, keep safe guys...njoy your hiking!
Flying The Nest Not too well advertised by the government, or not at all, the Banaue Rice Terraces and the Sagada Hanging Coffins are reflective of Filipino tribal culture for thousands of years.
You guys are awesome!!! I love ❤️ the PI and her people, they're great!!!
Woh those drone shots 😮 The Philippines looks incredible! It's in our 2019 travel plans. We just hope we can make it happen - Trevor
This place is beautiful from the air and down below!!
this place banaue rice terraces is considered the 8th wonder of the world
Please be careful Thanos was there remember Avengers infinity war😂😂. He escaped and lived in Batad😂😂
if you have friends or can make one- they will give a free tour for sure. unfortunately, i won't be around in 2019 to help you guys. but let me know if your planning to visit CEBU in the Philippines, I can give you some tips.
Recommend you going to BAGUIO CITY.
I feel like staying with locals is the best way to absorb culture. So so so great
So when we come to Brazil we stay at Alex house!
@@flyingthenest yes yes yes!
MrSoBitchy right
Love and miss this place so much!
You are missed here too :(
We missed you, when are you coming back ???

Every islands in the Philippines has something unique to offer
Travel With Mansoureh
I agree. We have thousands of sceneries to see and experience.
🤣 Filipinos praise white people as gods 🤮
@@TheLui1024 get a life! You post like this to every vlogs that show philippines beauty.
@ Travel With Mansoureh: True 100% The Philippines with her 7,147 gorgeous and beautiful islands? what more can you ask for to the Philippines. its a wonderful country.
@@TheLui1024 your comments are totally wrong, Filipino's is world famous to their friendliness and hospitable people that is why filipinos are very welcoming to the tourist not only in white people.
The last time I went to the Philippines was in 1986 . The scenery in the Philippines is amazing and the people are very friendly.
Oli Sch hahhhaha
come back again after the pandemic.
Tears falling down my eyes unintentionally, I’m just in complete Awe and optimism that I tought never in my life I would see this again. The country’s progression and technology slowly killing this beautiful places. I was born and raise in the Philippines but never in my life experienced this beauty and wonder of a place. Hope one day just like you can visit and unwind.
i ve been visiting Philippines 2 years ago and I can say Batad and Mayon volcano really left a deep print in my soul. Just can t wait to revisit again this year hopefuly!
I never that the Philippines has so much beautiful places and jaw dropping landscapes, and you guys go to the unexplored places which is amazing because it shows the local life there and how simple the locals are, you are great🥰❤️🤩
Actually Philippines has more than 7000 islands so it's not new if this country has a majestic places.. and these hidden gems of Philippines is not a secret anymore because of social media. That's why I bit sad for this because these places becomes more touristy in the upcoming years..
I envy you both...not everyone can experience your spectacular journey in the Philippines. Treasure these moments. Love you both. Fight On!
Thank you for sharing.
Wow, goosebumps all over! You're right, it's literally a million-dollar view. Breathtaking, heart-stopping shots. A once--in-a-lifetime experience. Thank you for sharing.
Im in tears watching the view of rice terraces. Havent been there and its sad coz Im a Filipino. Thank you for this video for.bringing me there.
You are a world-class originality an authentic from both of you with pleasant warm personality great team couple work, I love the way you do and the way you attack the audiences that interesting for us to watch, That place is so beautiful good for hiking just don't drink water from the deep-well it's a high risk of contaminated worm and be careful on dog bite cause rabbis around everywhere that area, I love everything you stored from your blog very originality from you. I give 2 THUMPS UP and so high expectation!
Absolutely beautiful. My wife and I did the same hike 2 years ago and it was definitely our most memorable experience while visiting the Philippines. Great job capturing all those views!
How difficult was the hike? Do jou need a very good condition?
@@gerdavanheel4469 The hike can be fairly challenging as there are a lot of steep and narrow parts and sections with large stairs. I wouldn't recommend it to someone who isn't comfortable with heights or with climbing a lot of stairs. But otherwise it's a beautiful hike! Definitely do it if you can!
Thanks to both of you for showing how beautiful Phils is. Even it was a yrar ago, I am still watching your vlogs. It is nice to recall my life when I was in the village.
I’m from the Philippines. But when I visited Banaue Rice Terraces in December 2018 after 37 years of existence. I can’t really imagine how beautiful my country is. I can’t even stop cry when I left that place and back to the crowded city of Manila. Really Beautiful place. Beautiful. Thank you guys for sharing your beautiful experience in Banaue the Philippines. Promise to my self to visit Banaue Rice Terraces every single year.
The rice terraces were incredible, must have been amazing to experience them in real life!
I was born n raised in Philippine but i never been there .. so beautiful 😍
Fun fact: The Philippines has over 170 -187 dialects, and an average language a Filipino can speak is 3. The English, Tagalog, and their province's dialect.
languages, not dialects. tagalog of laguna, manila and bataan aee dialects, but kapampangan, tagalog, bisaya are languages
@@mercadv suppose to say those are languages. But I will still stand on what I wrote about the dialects since a dialect is generally a particular form of a language which is specific to a region or social group and usually has differences in pronunciation, grammar, syntax and vocabulary.
@@stephanielim5544 exactly, but these are different languages. portuguese and Spanish are more intelligible to each other than Tagalog and kapampangan which are only 20 minutes apart. they hace different vocabulary, syntax, pronunciation, and even literary traditions.
@@mercadv if so then that's means Chavacano is also considered a language? Since it's like speaking 70% spanish/Castillan.
@@stephanielim5544 yes. chavacano is a Spanish creole not a dialect of Spanish. It has Spanish vocabulary but a different set of syntax and grammar. Creoles are their own languages. Stop being a smartass, you are in the wrong here.
Amazing you went to Ifugao!!!Don't forget to go to Tagaytay 🇵🇭. Near Manila before leaving Pinas. Short name for Philippines. Great view climate food. Majestic mountains city.
You guys are great storytellers and travellers. I need to go there.
Oh wow thank you so much!
My favorite video so far. 😍 like what the heck. Definitely a go to destination for the future. 🙌🏼
your camera work is just incredible! amazing video as always
Try going to Batanes if you're still up north
Making our way towards Sagada on the way back down!
@@flyingthenest yes, please do so! Get to see the hanging coffins, go spelunking in Sumaguing caves, and Kiltepan peak to see sea of clouds before sunrise. It is so worth it, also trek the Bomod-ok falls:)

WOOW >.. LUCKY YOU GUYS!! that's definitely one of my bucket list... For sure!!
Someday I will step there. Enjoy PH
wowwww! nice cinematography!
Amazing! Best video of the Rice Terraces that I've seen.
Editing was great! Wonderful adventure.
I am normally annoyed by the buzz of drones when I am hiking, but your drone shots of the rice terraces were beautiful. They are still as beautiful as when I first saw them when I traveled in that part of Luzon many years ago. I liked how you guys also very carefully walked around the perimeter of the rice fields to not fall into them and also to avoid damaging them. I'll have to do that the next time I visit, instead of just taking pictures from the distance.
Wow...the place is not much publicized but you guys are making it now! The place is great!
Magnificent Rice Terraces in the Philippines ! Enjoy your Philippine Adventure .
Best Batad/Banaue Vlog so far! Congratulations and keep them coming!
Great video no one gets up there to make video glad to see you did! This is on my bucket list for sure thanks
This is a must visit in Northern Philippines and very different from the Visayas region. I really love the culture and the natural wonders here. I enjoyed your content, guys!
Good job guys, You're off the beaten path. Not the usual vloggers, doing the same things.
Be ready for more pinoy likes and subscribers.
Yes we really want to explore some unique spots here before heading to the island!
Your song choices are all so good! Really sets the mood to all your videos 💕
I love your vlog guys. You are incredibly natural. After watching few videos i decided to finally subscribe and of course hit the notification bell. ♥️
I was sad because the blog ended. it was so beautiful
aww it was longer than the others :)
@Flying The Nest: It *Was*, thank you! I noticed that. It was much appreciated :))
Can never get enough of you guys
Couldn't agree more. There's a sentimental feel that you can't see in many traveller's vlogs. Sad too it had to end but very excited for the Sagada vlogs. Was there last November.
Props to you guys for exploring the north. Hope that other travellers try it. Lets forget about the beaches for a moment 😁
This is so awesome. I'm glad to have found your channel. I would love to go back to my home country in the future and explore the Philippines as well. Can't wait to see more great content from you guys!
This is the video ive been waiting...it's a very beautiful place
Rice terraces is a labor out of love ❤ not out of slavery. I just subscribed!
That was so amazing love the new backpacks and where do you get a watch that tells you the altitude so good to stop you getting too high and get altitude sickness, great Vlog xx M&D
Thank you so so much! Of all the Philippines videos I’ve never seen anyone do video of the rice terraces.i mean beautiful! I’m tearing up. Subscribed ✔️
Wow! This video is awesome. Haven’t seen such footage of the terraces before.
im 1st in the comment , 😅Nice
Rice terraces is one of beautiful places here in Philippines ❤
Lovely Couple. Youll reach 300k before ull left Philippines!
I love the passion that you have in your travels. I like how you stray from the usual tourist spots and just immerse yourselves in the culture. You take the viewers with you right there in your journey. Keep it up!
Guys! I love the shots and the editing so much! I love how it feels with the minimal music and sounds. It complements the location and the trip. So so awesome!!!! 👌
This place is nearly fading because of natural erosion. So sad 😢😢
new subcriber here from the philippines. our country is beautiful, and filipino's are friendly too 😊
🤣 Filipinos praise white people as gods 🤮
i think filipino people treat westerners who visited us as family or friends not gods. we have only one god and i bet he's not white 😏
@@TheLui1024 Here comes that hate-filled idiot again!
A much better video than I have ever seen you put out.. very well done.. almost felt live... great job! You should come to Canada
Thank you for featuring some tourist spots here in the Philippines. ❤️❤️❤️ I've been watching your vlogs for about three months and I enjoyed it.
Enjoyed 😍
See you in SAGADA on your next episode! ♥
WOOO!
I appreciate you guys. Love your vids about the Philippines. I am going to subscribe now to your channel!
This is how you travel deeper in the Philippines! Love your adventurous spirit! Nicely done, I’m a fan! 😍
Thanos lives there.
How long are you guys staying for? We're heading up this week and I can't wait!
Hi Jodie, I just subscribed to your channel yesterday. Seeing you up north would be so special to watch.
Just subscribed! Great video and I’m so excited to come along on your adventures! Live it up and enjoy every moment. Mabuhay and take care!!
Best drone shots of the rice terraces I've seen after seeing a bunch from other vloggers. Great job!
story line perfect camera work unbelievable editing fantastic drone oh wow congratulations oh if you are still out in thebush there was a terrorist attack against christains so take that extra bit of care stay safe and enjoy yourselves
That incident happened in an isolated area in the far south, They are in the north.
The north is a much safer region. Just be careful anyway.
They are far from the bombing incident. Batad is a safe place. You can walk around the village without worries. Just make sure that you prepared yourself physically for the hiking adventure. I had muscle pains when I went there 5 years ago.
It was nearer Malaysia than our own capital. It wasnt even in Mindanao mainland. FYI
This place is safety.
I love your appreciation of the simple things in this video such as the home cooked meals and the humble abode which you stayed at. i think most of the so-called/self-proclaimed travel "influencers" wouldn't even dare try going to this place. I'm a new subscriber and though I live in the Philippines I haven't been to that place. you're very lucky to have experienced that ❤❤
Amazing view! Thanks for the video! Love it! 👍😘
You guy's are born to be a story teller. Keep it up. I'm glad I found your channel!
I've been following you guys for the past few months, you guys do a great job at documenting your travels. ?? If a single person traveled to the locations you've visited the past year how much would you estimate the yearly cost to be?
the last scene from the avengers, that is the place where thanos retired.
Ahhhhhhhhh you're going to Sagada next!!! I cannot wait!!!! 💙💙💙💙 Safe travels always Stephen and Jess!
I love the way you promote our country😍 by the way the edits and music are nice
When I watch your videos, I often wonder how a place smells. Maybe that's weird :D anyway, I imagine that the rice terraces smelled earthy, rich, and fresh...
Yeah smells like pig shit and chicken dung , trust me I know
Hi, greetings from Bangladesh! Love your videos. Was just wondering, what's the temperature like at altitude in Benaue?
Mustafiz its a very cold weather in the northern part of the philippines our country is divided in three regions Luzon,Visayas and Mindanao. Northern is the best in hiking,Trekking Visayas and Mindanao Best Beaches our Country is many to offer in Tourist because we are 7,641 islands. Even endemic plants and birds our country is seventeen mega diverse country and global biodiversity hotspot. Banaue ifugao Coldest record was 6.3 degree Celsius normal is around 23 degree Celsius altitude is 1,500 meters 4,900 above sea level. ITS BANAUE not benaue 😊
So far, this is my fave video from you guys!! I love how you included the simple life of the locals. I felt the heart on this video and im sure you guys will never forget this experience :) ingat!
I can only imagine living there. Waking up everyday, the trees, the mountains, the clouds...so peaceful, so simple...I can feel the nature erasing all the stress brought on by working too much, traffic in the city and just seeing so many people living in poverty. Yet there are people who are living such simple life and for them everything is complete. Thanks guys! Will definitely visit there soon. But first, this March, we will be going to Batanes. Take care and stay safe :)
Go to batanes😊😊😊and see the real beauty of the Philippines
I want to visit this place, too. :)
Love that you guys educate yourself with the country. Just found you guys, deff subscribing
Lovin your videos! Well researched and so fun!
Guys you tried Mt pulag because u are already there... it's famous for sea of clouds
We are planning to head to a Mountain... but not Mt Pulag ;-)
@@flyingthenest Kiltepan peak in Sagada, love that you interact with the locals
@@flyingthenest yeah visit Mt. Pulag ive been there five times and planning to go back again i just love watching the sea of clouds and the sunrise

P.S.,...great way to cap off the hike w/ the waterfall 👌
Yep they are so beautiful and full of history!
Thanks to both of you for bringing to life the sights and sounds of the Banaue Rice Terraces. Growing up, we saw only pictures and descriptions of the place; your absolutely breathtaking videos and drone shots made them come alive and bring tears to my eyes. A million thanks to you.
Great content and beautifully shot too!
Very peaceful,breathtaking views and the feeling of one with nature..😀👍
Did you happen to see THANOS over there? The avengers are looking for him. 😂😂. Banaue is an awesome place, hope you guys had fun. Love your vlog
Just gonna say - if all the marvel heroes are saved in the next movie...just remember we were here first :P
❤️❤️❤️I love this video! It 's so genuine. Seriously! You're now my favorite vloggers.
Wow!!! You so many great shots!!! Amazing!!! Loving your vlogs here in the Philippines!!!
