Philippines - Rice Terraces of the Philippine Cordilleras

"For 2,000 years, the high rice fields of the Ifugao have followed the contours of the mountains. The fruit of knowledge handed down from one generation to the next, and the expression of sacred traditions and a delicate social balance, they have helped to create a landscape of great beauty that expresses the harmony between humankind and the environment."

  1. They called it also 8th Wonders of the World. Similar to Pyramid of Egypt that no modern machines can build this majestic also know the "Stairway to Heaven" Thanks to the ancient Filipino builders they are so industrious like the colony of ants in building these so huge terraces.
