Are you ready to explore the stunning landscape of Kabayan in the Benguet Province? This small town is most famous for its role as a base camp for the third-highest peak in the Philippines, Mount Pulag. But Kabayan is also home to centuries-old mummies, which makes the town all the more fascinating.
The Kabayan mummy burial caves are a National Cultural Treasure and a major tourist attraction. The mummies have started to decay over the years, but thankfully foreign archeologists have joined the preservation campaign. As a result, the Mummy Caves were recognized as one of the 100 Most Endangered Sites in the world.
