For 2000 years, people of the Ifugao province in the Philippines have meticulously cultivated an endless series of terraced fields that rise for thousands of feet atop the Filipino mountains. The ancient landscape is filled with such rugged natural beauty, it reminds you of a vibrant painting. Illustrating human’s harmony with nature at its best, the Banaue Rice Terraces serves as a great example of sustainable agriculture manned using traditional techniques.
The terraced fields are constructed using stone and mud, carefully carved to create terraces that can hold pond fields for rice cultivation. Water from mountaintop forests flow into the fields providing the plots with fresh harvesting water. All this is done by hand; an incredible feat for farming techniques. The Banaue Rice Terraces are a must see in your lifetime.
