I know, I know. You do not have to go to Batad to see awesome rice terraces. But if you are staying the night in Banaue anyway, go to Batad even if it kills you. The rice terraces in Batad are among five inscribed clusters that have been declared a World Heritage Site by the UNESCO. The four others are: the Nagacadan terrace cluster in the municipality of Kiangan; Hungduan terrace cluster, the central Mayoyao terrace cluster and the Bangaan terrace cluster in Banaue.
