Banaue serves as the primary hub for visitors exploring the Ifugao rice terraces. The town itself is a lively center with local markets selling handicrafts and produce, plus a range of lodgings and eateries. While the terraces are the main draw, the town's atmosphere and views of the surrounding mountains make it a memorable stop. Visitors can arrange guided hikes to the terraces or simply enjoy the scenery from viewpoints near town.
