Banaue Rice Terraces was built several thousand years ago, the Ifugao Rice Terraces in Banaue are still maintained today as a way of irrigating the mountain slopes. Visit the traditional Ifugao Village in Bangaan and shop in the Banaue town market for antiques, baskets, woodcarvings and other handicrafts. Be sure to bring an extra sweater and rolls of film. The Ifugao tribespeople who created and farmed the terraces in order to supply their staple crop of rice have in doing so left behind an architectural masterpiece. The fact that they were constructed using only primitive tools and bare hands makes the terraces even more astounding. The view from our hotel was magnificent, but when we went up to the viewpoint in Banaue, their full marvel lay before us. They need constant upkeep but unfortunately today's young generation no longer feel the need to farm rice so the terraces are increasingly left to ruin. We could only imagine how awesome they must have looked when being fully utilised.
