You don’t need to go as far as Banaue to see rice terraces, because scattered all around the Cordillera are hand carved mountains that look like a giant staircase leading to the heavens. Given that Banaue has bigger Rice Terraces, there are just more activities to do in Sagada, like visiting the hanging coffins, the underground river, and even some waterfalls. If you’re looking to see a lot of unique things in one place, than Sagada is definitely the place to go.
