If you are a nature lover, you will like it here in the Philippines. It is here where some of the most beautiful wonders of nature are found. These world-renowned wonders of nature are sights to behold and to enjoy by citizens of the world. This is one of the place in the Philippines i think that should be visit and discover.
The Banaue Rice Terraces(Tagalog: Hagdan-hagdang Palayan ng Banawe) is located in the northern part of the country. The Banaue Rice Terraces is known to Filipinos as the 8th wonder of the world. It has been carved into the mountains by the indigenous people of Mountain Province and Ifugao more than 2000 years ago. The Banaue Rice Terraces is included in the Unesco World Heritage List in 1995.
Locals to this day still plant rice and vegetables on the terraces, although more and more younger Ifugaos do not find farming appealing, often opting for the more lucrative hospitality industry generated by the Rice Terraces[citation needed]. The result is the gradual erosion of the characteristic "steps", which need constant reconstruction and care. In 2010 a further problem was drought, with the terraces drying up completely in March of that year.
Today, Many tourists visit this place not just to see how beautiful this place is but also to learn the culture of the tribe living in this place(The Ifugaos). It is said that the Ifugaos are the one who is maintaining the beauty of Banaue Rice Terraces and making it popular in the whole world. Even if they have also there own language, they are entertaining tourists and visitors to like this place.
