Banaue Rice Terraces

The Banaue Rice Terraces are 2000-year old terraces. The terraces were carved into the mountains of Ifugao by the ancestors of Batad indigenous people. The people of the Philippines refer the Banaue Rice Terraces as the 8th Wonder of the World.The terraces are located approximately 1500 meters above sea level and cover 10,360 square kilometers of mountainside.The Banaue terraces are part of the Rice Terraces of the Philippine Cordilleras, ancient sprawling man-made structures from 2,000 to 6,000 years old. Another thriving economy in the Banaue Rice Terraces is tourism. The Tourism industry has developed a number of activities for visitors which may include the traditional sight seeing of the terraces and visits to the tribes at the foot of the terraces. In my opinion, I think that tourist who visit the Banaue Rice Terraces should keep the place clean and not destroy the beautiful scene. Well, the Banaue Rice Terraces are really magnificent.
