#timetotravel The view of the Banaue Rice Terraces is nothing but spectacular, amaxing and majestic. No wonder this has become a Unesco World Heritage and a National Cultural Treasure in the Philippines. Carved into the mountains of Ifugao 2000 years ago built by our ancestors with their bare hands. I am in awe looking at this beauty and can't help but be grateful to the people who made this method of cultivating rice and later on ispired the neighboring countries to do the same.

Inside Banaue Hotel, as the sun rises viewed from the windows of Imbayah Restaurant, I take my morning buffet breakfast which is inclusive to my hotel booking reservation. I enjoyed my morning brewed mountain provinces coffee, with my toasted bread and champurado, filipino and continental breakfast, plus fruits and vegetable salad make my whole morning meal a great moment of greeting a new day. It is another day. Everytime I go to Banaue, this is the moment I always missed: Breakfast by the view of Cordillera mountains on the rising sun.#celebratewithtrip #foodie #mytripvlog #tripblazers

#celebratewithtrip One of my most memorable trips is Banaue, Ifugao where you can find the UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Batad Rice Terraces and Bangaan Rice Terraces. It is 8-9 hrs travel via NLEX, SCTEX, TPLEX taking Pura Exit to Dalton Pass and drive straight to Bagabag then enter Ifugao to Banaue. I choose Banaue Hotel which is 1/2 km before the town center. It is a government hotel which gives the indigenous feeling and ambiance of the place. Buffet breakfast is excellent with the like of champurado and dried fish. It has swimming pool but the cold weather prevents me to dip in. But of course, I need to see BATAD. It is a 19 mins drive by car but I need to walk to Batad. I hired a guide to take the best trails and to tell about the history and custom of the locals. It was a difficult trekking and I did not finish because I was not too ready. Next time, I will come back and conquer Batad Terraces!#mytripvlog#mountainview#tripblazers#spooktaculartrip#fallingforfall#terracefields#trekking#mountainhike

From grade school to facination to reality. Unesco world heritage Banaue Rice Terraces. The Banaue Rice Terraces are terraces that were carved into the mountains of Banaue, Ifugao, in the Philippines, by the ancestors of the Igorot people. The terraces are occasionally called the "Eighth Wonder of the World". It is commonly thought that the terraces were built with minimal equipment, largely by hand.

The Banaue Rice Terraces in the Philippines was famous enough as it is… but it got even more popular when it was included in a blockbuster American movie. I got to visit this place in 2019. Banaue is accessible by land travel. Our family paid for a private tour which enabled us to have exclusive use of the van (with driver & tour guide) and unrestricted time in visiting Banaue and Sagada. This is the way to go when travelling with a senior citizen and with people who are into photography. If you are in a tour group, normally, time to explore the places visited are restricted since there are a lot of places to cover during the tour. You also cannot just stop the vehicle when you want a toilet break! 😂 If you want to visit this place, it is best to travel at dawn then wait for the sun to rise over the rice terraces. This would’ve been a spectacular sight but we missed it since we came late :( After taking in the view and taking photos around the area, you can enjoy breakfast in nearby eateries or restaurants. Normally, places there who offer a spot to view or take photos of the rice terraces include outdoor dining. #banauericeterraces #ricefields #sunrise #riceterraces #philippines #cordillera #mountains #nature #roadtrip

Banaue rice terraces is the "8th Wonder of the World" found in Ifugao, Philippines. This was carved into the mountains by the ancestors of the indigenous filipino people and was thought it is already more than 2000 year old. This is famous tourist spot or destination but it requires you for road trip going here. From manila it will take you 8-10 hours to reach this place, no tram, no taxi, but by private car or commute by bus. This is free entrance coz you just view it on the road. Reminder, too hot here, bring your share and cap or hat, plus dont forget to take selfie with the local there and give some tip for them to buy some foods or drinks. Many souvenir handcraft stores are also nearby. #urbanexplorer #roadtrip #roadtrips #banauericeterraces #philippinespride #philippinestravel #philippinestrip #naturalwonders

Banaue, Ifugao – The world-renowned Banaue Rice Terraces is dubbed as The Eight Wonder of the World. Because it appeared on the old twenty peso bill, most people believe that Banaue Rice Terraces is included in the UNESCO World Heritage Sites like Batad, Hungduan, Mayoyao Central, Nagacadan and Bangaan (Rice Terraces of the Philippine Cordilleras). Banaue Rice Terraces is not included in the UNESCO list but it is a National Cultural Treasure. When thinking of traveling the Philippines, the first things you’ll find while researching are amazing beaches, blue lagoons and wide eyed miniature monkeys, called tarsiers. When my wife and I were looking for a place to chill out on our honeymoon, that’s exactly what we found. However, being a backpacker by nature, I also looked for something off the beaten path. That’s how I found a place that locals refer to as “The 8th World Wonder” – the Banaue rice terraces. Banaue is in Luzon Island in the north of the Philippines, in an area called Ifugao. It has one of the most amazing mountain views you’ll ever see. These mountains are the home of 2,000-year-old rice terraces, and is, in my opinion, a place you shouldn’t miss if you visit the Philippines. The area has several villages that have become tourist attractions. Banaue is the region's biggest town and the gateway to all other places, while Batad, Sagada, Hapao and Cambulo are a few of the villages in the area. If you enjoy trekking, it's possible to walk for a few days between these villages. (Ask locals for recommended routes.) #urbanexplorer #maydaytrip

The Banaue Rice Terraces (Filipino: Hagdan-hagdang Palayan ng Banawe) are terraces that were carved into the mountains of Banaue, Ifugao, in the Philippines, by the ancestors of the indigenous people. The terraces are occasionally called the "Eighth Wonder of the World".It is commonly thought that the terraces were built with minimal equipment, largely by hand.The terraces are located approximately 1,500 metres (4,900 feet) above sea level. These are fed by an ancient irrigation system from the rainforests above the terraces. It is said that if the steps were put end to end, it would encircle half of the globe. Locals up 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 terraces.The result is the gradual erosion of the characteristic "steps", which require constant reconstruction and care. In 2010, a further problem encountered was drought, with the terraces drying up completely in March of that year.

We also dont forget to take photos those people or locals in the places we visited. They are friendly and beautiful people from Cordillera province. Without them, there is no amazing Banaue Rice terraces. Mind you fellow travellers, dnt hesitate to take picture with them. They are part of our travel history! #tripinspired #awesomepic #triptobanaue #philippinestrip #philippinespride #localpeople #travelinspiration #sharethelove #awesomepic#wintergetaway#tripinspired

Yes, the rice terraces are beautiful. No argument. However, the pollution caused by vehicles is so overwhelming that it gave me a headache and I had to leave early. I have lived in 3 of the most polluted cities in the world, Saigon (HCMC), Bangkok and Mexico City. They look like a rain forest compared to any place in the Philippines. You can see impressive rice terraces in southern China or Bali and not have to deal with the horrible emissions in Banaue. I was constantly holding my shirt over my nose but the fumes still permeated my nose. #givethanks #givethanks

The Philippines is known as a country of a thousand islands. Most people flock to see the atmosphere of the white sandy beach. However, if you want to try a different atmosphere, Banaue is another place that the author recommends to experience the local lifestyle and nature of the mountains. Travel: Book a bus through the website or go to the bus station of the company. The bus we took was from ohayami. The trip took 10 hours. When you arrive at the bus station, take a tuk-tuk. Here, tuk-tuks are used for transportation. #tripแจกโรงแรมฟรี

As we ventured further into our BecomingBisaya journey, we decided to challenge ourselves with a thrilling drone shoot in the awe-inspiring landscapes of Banaue.

Banaue Rice Terraces also known as Hagdan-Hagdang Palayan, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site in Ifugao. It features thousands of staircase-like rice paddies that were said to be built thousand years ago. The Ifugaos said that their ancestors built these rice terraces Philippines only by hand. And up until now, the new generations are still applying the same technique amid the modernization to preserve the breathtaking rice terraces. #banauericeterraces #amazingplace #urbanexplorer

Banaue in Phillipines are the most memorable place when I visit there. My friends and I excited to see the beautiful scenery of the rice terrace. We spent a night staying here and we went to the stunning waterfall there. I highly recommend this place. #wintergetaway #wintergetaway
