Banaue rice terraces are an agricultural wonder, often referred to as the "Eighth Wonder of the World." Built over 2,000 years ago by the Ifugao people, these terraces demonstrate advanced engineering and agricultural techniques. The terraces are designed to follow the natural contours of the mountains, creating a series of steps that can hold water for rice cultivation. This sustainable farming practice has allowed the Ifugao people to thrive in a mountainous region with limited flat land. Today, the Banaue rice terraces are a UNESCO World Heritage site, attracting tourists from around the world. The terraces not only serve as a vital source of food and income for the local community but also as a testament to the ingenuity and resilience of the Ifugao people.
