  • We spend 4 magnificent days at the Batad rice Terraces in North Luzon, Philippines and show to you why this amazing feat of human engineering is considered to be the 8th Wonder of the World!
    As usual we show the best value places to stay and eat and where to go to enjoy the majesty of the Batad Rice Terraces. Also I trek to the spectacular Tappiya waterfall and find myself in heaven on earth!

    Wow! Amazing scenery! I can only imagine the labor and engineering it took to build those rice paddies. We're occasional hikers but that trail to the falls would have been too challenging for us. Thank you Lee for making the trek! Oh, and special thanks for feeding the doggo 🙏🙏. Take care!! 🤗🤗🐕

    • @FrugalTravellers
      @FrugalTravellers  Před měsícem +1

      Yay... So glad you enjoyed it. ❤️. It was quite a challenging hike what with getting a bit lost at times but well worth it. A beautiful contrast between a natural landscape and a man made one. So interesting to see life being lived there in the traditional ways. 👍. And having a doggy friend as a trail buddy just topped it off. ❤️🐶

    Hi Mandy & Lee,
    It was a long bus ride to get there but well worth it.
    What a scenery / mountains / rice terraces / waterfall.
    It's beautiful place but not an easy access as them trails don't seem safe. On wet days it might be quite dangerous..
    To Lee, hopefully England will do well on this Euro (as long as they don't play / beat Portugal.. 😉)
    Chat later, take care folks 🙋🏻‍♂️

    • @FrugalTravellers
      @FrugalTravellers  Před měsícem

      Hi Sergio 👋
      Yes what a beautiful trail but quite challenging too. I'm glad Mandy didn't attempt it because she would have struggled with the heights. It was a bit dodgy in parts so I just took my time. 🙏
      I'm watching the Euros but don't have my hopes too high for England this time. There are far better teams in it. I enjoyed watching Portugal and Spain look really good too. 👍

    I was up that way years ago, stayed in Banaue. I remember the road to get there was a nightmare.
    I'd forgotten how cheap Philippines is, priceless view from accommodation that cheap?! must be time for another visit.
    Thank you Lee for climbing up and down those trails to share with us, and balancing along those rice terraces.
