Banaue Rice Terraces, Rice terraces in the Philippines
The Banaue Rice Terraces are 2,000-year-old terraces that were carved into the mountains of Ifugao in the Philippines by ancestors of the indigenous people.
The Banaue Rice Terraces are part of the UNESCO World Heritage inscribed Rice Terraces of the Philippine Cordilleras.
The terraces are still used today for growing rice and vegetables, reflecting a sustainable way of life that has lasted for millennia.
The best time to visit is between February and May when the paddies are lush green.
Often referred to as the 'Eighth Wonder of the World', these terraces are a testament to ancient Filipino ingenuity.
