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.

Hi,

I just came back from the Philippines, and had that same things to say about my very short (3 days) in the Cordilleras. Batad was awesome, but awful on the legs. But it was once in a lifetime experience, as I tell my friends. It was a riot inspite of the leg cramps, and aching knees. I came across your blog while searching for a map of Batad, for a little review I’m writing.

My friends and I are going there this Friday. Your blog has been most helpful. It was exquisitely done similar to the place’s grandeur.
It was good to hear that no matter what is being said about our country,it hasn’t lost its beauty and mystique. Thank you for sharing our country in such articulate manner.

hello to you xecer aisha, i know it’s late to answer your question. we paid Php200 per person for the first night. The next day we learned they have a room with its own toilet and bath so we moved in to that room for Php600. It is at the back but it’s no problem, we can always go out to the balcony if we want to have a view of the majestic terraces. Enjoy your travel there!
