The town of Mayoyao is just 42 kms east of its more famous neighbor, the Banaue rice terraces, but it has terraces well exceeding the latter's beauty. Mayoyao is located inside a huge valley surrounded by a range of tall mountains, with rice fields cut right into the sides, stretched from one end to the other. We stayed at the municipal guest house, a gem of a place that stood on a low plateau located right in the middle of the valley. It was awesome to wake-up right in the middle of the valley, just as the fog lifts, and when the sun begins to peek through the mountaintops. I wish we stayed longer. Enjoy.
