The Banaue Rice Terraces of the Philippines are an ancient wonder, referred to as the “Eighth Wonder of the World.”
The stunning terraces were created more than 2,000 years ago on the mountains of Ifugao by local people using rudimentary tools and traditional methods.
They are still utilized for rice cultivation to this day, highlighting the wisdom and resilience of the Ifugao people.
Stretching over thousands of hectares, the terraces hew out the natural contour of the mountains, presenting an awe-inspiring landscape that draws tourists from across the globe.
A UNESCO World Heritage Site, they represent sustainable agriculture and cultural heritage, passed on from generation to generation.
