Review:
The Banaue Rice Terraces are among the Philippines National Cultural Treasures, located in the mountainous regions of northern Luzon Island and Ifugao. Constructed as a pragmatic solution to grow rice on lands that featured vertigo-inducing angles, these terraces soar to heights of nearly 5,000 feet above sea level. The remoteness of their location offers visitors awe-inspiring views of the terraced valleys. Many who visit chose to travel to a place known as Sunshine Point, an area where people from the local Igarot tribe sell wood carvings and pose for pictures. Guests can also choose to traverse the area on foot with a guide, where they can take cooling off breaks at various waterfalls and swimming holes.
