Situated in the middle of the mountain range, it sits on the crossroads between Sagada to the west, Banaue and Batad to the south and other interesting attractions to the northeast. It's also the only town in the region where you'll find a cash machine.  I stopped there several times, so I could catch links to surrounding towns. I didn't stay longer than needed, but Bontoc, with its 3,500 inhabitants, has a lot of welcoming craft workshops and is choc-a-block with all types of tricycles.  Whilst waiting for a bus, I had time to whizz around Bontoc's museum - an fascinating visit if you're on a cultural holiday. It has some superb black and white photos and various displays about the headhunters (the gruesome kind!!) who lived (or still live?) in the region.
