Tourist offices Northern Luzon

Located in the center of Banaue village, this is where the buses arrive. The tourist office is not particularly useful, you will mostly go through your guesthouse to organize your visits. However, they can provide the visitor with a map of the area (20 PHP), arrange private transportation and find you an official guide whose rates are fixed: it is necessary to count around 1 500 PHP per guide for one day. This will avoid you having to use the services of a "fake" guide (who can wait for tourists at the bus station).

This is a very useful tourist office. They are in charge of coordinating the different associations of accredited guides and of fixing the prices of the expeditions (so you are sure to get a fair price if you go through them). Several walks are proposed to discover the area, through Echo Valley, the hanging coffins, the underground river and the Bokong waterfalls. It is also here that you will pay the environment tax when you arrive (50 PHP).
