Visit Cordillera Administrative Region
The Cordillera Administrative Region (CAR) of the Philippines is an area of stunning natural beauty, home to some of the most incredible mountain ranges and waterfalls in the country. It comprises six provinces: Abra, Apayao, Benguet, Ifugao, Kalinga and Mountain Province.
For a unique experience of cultural immersion, visit Sagada in Mountain Province. Here you can witness traditional funerary practices such as burying coffins in cliffs or hanging them on limestone formations. For adventure seekers there are great trekking opportunities across rice terraces and through lush forests to reach breathtaking waterfalls like Pongas Falls in Kalinga.
A lesser known fact about CAR is that during World War II it was a major battleground for Japanese forces against Filipino guerrillas led by General Tomoyuki Yamashita - who later became known as The Tiger of Malaya for his exploits during the war!
