Trek through the Terraces of Banaue

The Rice Terraces of the Cordilleras – a true gem and one of the Philippines’ most distinct natural wonders. While this tropical country is known for white sand beaches and golden sunsets, its mountain regions are a sight to behold. Known as “Hagdang-Hagdang Palayan” in the local language, the Rice Terraces in Banaue of the Ifugao Province is unofficially dubbed the “Eighth Wonder of the World”.

Whether it ever gets that official honor or not is irrelevant – a trip to this UNESCO World Heritage Site in Batad and Bangaan in Banaue is a must for adventure seekers looking for respite in nature.
