This is the modern village of Bataad, Philippines.  It's located right in the heart of the Ifugao province.  

You can't drive here in a car, you don't fly here in an airplane either.  There are no roads, no airports, no trains, no bus to Bataad.  There isn't even a motocycle trail.

To go to Bataad you have to walk over the mountain and it takes a long long time if you're out of shape.

The native people pracitcally run over the mountain! I felt like a big huge fat man and I actually thought I was in shape at the time.

If you look carefully you will see 4 different church buildings in this small village.  

Four different religions in such a small village is just amazing to me.
