Rice Terraces is one of my favorites tourist spot in Baguio City. The rice terraces around Banaue have been called the eighth wonder of the world. It took the Ifugao tribes people, with their primitive implements, over 2000 years to create this imposing landscape. Unfortunately, the younger generation no longer feels the call to be rice farmer and carry on the labor intensive tending of the fields, so the preservation of the rice terraces is in danger. UNESCO could soon provide the neccessary financial support to save the terraces, as they now appear on the ENUSCO World Herritage list. In 1997, the American Society of Civil Engineers honoured this unique terrace landscape with the prestigious International Historic Civil Engineering Landmark award.
There are a number of things to do around this area. YOu can visit several Ifugao villages, take some of the paths through the rice terraces, enjoy the panorama from Banaue View Point or take a refreshing dip in the water of the Guihon Natural Pool. So, if are planning to visit Baguio City, Philippines, don't forget to visit this beautiful Rice Terraces.
