A geothermal hot spring next to a river can be reached via walking across rice terraces starting from Hungduan Elementary School. The road to the school however is not yet paved. Arrangements to visit will likely need to be made in town.

The Museum of Cordilleran Sculpture was founded by George and Candida Ida Schenk over 30 years ago, and evolved from a small antique store in Manila, into dream to preserve a culture that is slowly dying. There are over 1,000 pieces in the collection of the museum, ranging from large-scale, carved wooden Bululs, masks to smaller scale figures, textiles, utilitarian objects, and composite objects. Temporarily closed as of September 2023.
Natural history museum. Very small museum. Interesting things to see about Ifugao Culture, attire, handicraft, etc. Good to visit. High steps/stairs to reach the entrance to the museum, then another stairs to the lower level.
Banaue Ethnic Village and Pine Forest Resort is on a six hectare lot in a pine forest above downtown Banaue. It has large grassy areas, picnic shelters, swimming pools, and a large function hall. This would be an ideal place for a school or other organization to have training sessions or meetings.
Sometimes called the "Eighth Wonder of the World", the 2000-year-old Banaue rice terraces are a designated National Cultural Treasure, and while many are still in use, the outer rims are showing signs of deterioration. They were created by the Ifugao (local native people), in a massive engineering project to cover the sides of the valleys (probably 200 m from floor to rim) for several miles, irrigated by means of mountain streams and springs that have been tapped and channelled into canals that run downhill through the rice terraces.
