Banaue Rice Terraces

Posted 1 year ago by pedro in response to avatar gossiper's question: Give me more details about the rice terraces in Banaue. Any good for sightseeing? (give a different answer) .

Built about 2000 years ago, the terraces are still maintained as a way of irrigating the area's steep slopes, rising at about 5000 feet. They're carved inside the Cordillera Central mountain range and cover about 4000 square miles. Grab a sweater, a camera and some boots for setting a hike! It's a great opportunity to meet the tribal people in the nearby village of Ifugao!
