CAR Β· Kalinga
A remote Kalinga village reachable by 3-hour hike from Tinglayan, home to Apo Whang-Od β the oldest mambabatok (traditional Kalinga tattoo artist) in the Philippines, now in her late 90s. The experience of reaching this village and receiving a hand-tapped tattoo is unlike anything else in the country.
