Sorry for the late response Charisma!

We caught the night bus from Manila to Batad (approx 8 hours).

Haha! Good advice Robert

It would be a shame to miss out on swimming in the waterfalls too!

Absolutely anything they can do to preserve such a stunning place would be amazing!

Went there & will return there more times. Breathtaking! After a long and some uncomfortable ride to get there waited a pure landscape witha mix of temperated rainforest and rice terraces. As a graffiti asked rethorical in tagalog “Why is it so cold here?” is my tip for those who go there in the winter season to bring some extra clothes or an own thicker blanket…

Yeah, I would have liked to stay in one of the huts! It’s pretty intense though – apparently mosquitos can get bad.. But I’m sure you’ll be fine. Tell us how it is. And maybe when you return, if you want to write about it – we can publish it on this site for you?? Hehe, just an idea, let me know!

Hiya A & E: Those half meter high steps. Yes, I did the waterfall. Ignorance is bliss. I just kept following the 2 guys I was with (I’m maybe as old as your parents). I met a Swiss father and son at the top. The son was concerned for his Dad, who had a heart attack 5 years ago. He wanted to know if it would be too much for his dad. I just said, don’t go. An elderly Belgian couple told him about those half metre high steps. Cheers. Alex

Good to hear from you Alex – and I know what you mean about the legs! Did you do the trek down to the waterfall? Remember those half meter high steps near the bottom?? Getting back up those bad boys = NOT fun haha. But what an experience.
