Secluded from the rest of lowland Luzon, the ethic Filipinos known as Ifugaos living in the highlands of Cordillera mountain ranges has learned to sustain their need for rice by building the mindblowing and amazing rice terraces carved out of the mountain slopes about 2000 years ago. Today, this wonderful product of the Ifugaos’ ingenuity and craftsmanship still exists and continues to marvel and brings awe to anyone who beholds it.
Batad in Banaue, province of Ifugao is arguably the best place to witness and enjoy the wonder of the Philippines’ rice terraces. Unlike other rice terraces, Batad has a unique landscape resembling that of an amphitheater painted in bright organic green.Batad’s rice terraces spectacular view can be enjoyed from afar even the window or terrace of your inn’s room.
But nothing beats exploring the rice terraces by foot. Walk along the narrow pathways, get dirty in the mud and climb your way up to the highest point of the rice terraces.After a sweat-dripping activity in Batad, relax and freshen up in the cold water of Tappiyah Falls.
