| Banaue Rice Terraces |
Dubbed as the "Eight Wonder of
the World," the Banaue Rice
Terraces start from the base of
up to several thousand feet
high. It is said that their length,
put end to end, would encircle
half of the globe. Made 2,000
years ago, these rice terraces
manifest the engineering skill
and ingenuity of the sturdy
Ifugaos. Streams and springs
found in the mountains were
tapped and channeled into
irrigation canals that run
downhill through the rice
terraces.
