Banaue Rice Terraces
Ifugao, Luzon
Banaue rice terraces has been described as the eighth wonder of the world. Carved out of the hillside by Ifugao tribes people 2000 to 3000 years ago without the aid of machinery to provide level steps where the natives plant rice. And they are still in use today.
One of the major appeal of Banaue rice terraces to the local and international tourist are the many hiking trails in the area. There are many young locals, mostly college students who serve as guides. But with or without a guide, you will find the friendliness and warmth of the Ifugao people endearing.
The terraces are vastly found in the province of Ifugao and the Ifugao people have been its caretakers. Ifugao culture revolves[6] around rice and the culture displays an elaborate array of rice culture feasts linked with agricultural rites from rice cultivation to rice consumption. Harvest season generally calls for thanksgiving feasts while the concluding harvest rites tungo or tungul (the day of rest) entail a strict taboo of any agricultural work. Partaking of the bayah (rice beer), rice cakes, and betel nut constitutes an indelible practice during the festivities and ritual activities.
BATAD rice terraces. Also located in Banaue, it is home to the spectacular tiered, amphitheatre-shaped terraces.
MAYOYAO rice terraces is similarly situated in Banaue. The organic Ifugao rice called Tinawon, in red and white variety, is harvested here in abundance.
HAPAO rice terraces. Its stone-walled rice terraces date back to 650 AD and is located in Hungduan, where Napulawan terraces can also to be found.
KIANGAN rice terraces. It is home to two famous rice terraces sites namely: Nagacadan and Julungan, known for their size and visual impact.
Banaue rice terraces, although a bit far from Manila is one of the most awesome destinations in the Philippines. Visitors never regret spending time and resources to see its beauty and grandeur. One cannot but ponder how the Ifugaos made it all using just their bare hands...
In 1995, the clusters of terraces at Bangaan, Batad, Mayoyao, Nagacadan & Hungduan, in Ifugao were declared UNESCO World Heritage Sites. In March 2009 the Ifugao rice terraces were declared free from Genetically Modified Organism (GMO). An event was organized in Dianara Viewpoint for this announcement where it was graced by Gov. Teodoro Baguilat, Mayor Lino Madchiw, Greenpeace campaigner for Southeast Asia Daniel Ocampo, and Cathy Untalan who was executive director of the Miss Earth Foundation. Before the announcement ceremonies, 3 Mumbakis performed an Alim, a tribal ritual to ask for blessings where an animal is offered to the gods.

Banaue is a beautiful place. If you are blessed to visit Banaue hike the Batad trail, visit Kiangan's Yamashita shrine where the famous Gen. Yamashita of Japan got captured. Beside staying in a hotel, try the native houses for accomodations at Native village houses. While there visit Bontoc, & Sagada. Driving to Baguio via Sagada route check in at Mt. Data Hotel for a romantic/relaxing accomodation.

Hi, Just want to correct if you don't mind that Baguio to Banaue center is 8 hours drive.

[@jonathanbiwit3186]

The first photo you showed is not Banaue Rice Terraces. That's Tegelalang Rice Terraces in Ubud, Bali, Indonesia. I am an Ifugao and I wish to correct this common error.

[@patrickborro2000]

Yeah. I'm always seeing that image and always it is said to be Banaue which irks me.

banaue is no longer a wonder due to soil erosion

[@k.3004]

It will always be a wonder. It lasted for 2000 thousand years and running and you say that's not a wonder? The Ifugao will continue to take care and maintain these terraces. Storms will not stop them from the love of their culture. As is known the oldest parts of the terraces is the bottom. Sustainability is the reason why these terraces are running that's a wonder to behold.
