Overview

The Banaue Rice Terraces are a breathtaking testament to human ingenuity and harmony with nature. Carved into the mountains of the Cordilleras by the Ifugao people. These terraces are often called the “Eighth Wonder of the World” and recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Rising to about 1,500 meters above sea level, they stand as living proof of sustainable farming and timeless tradition.

Our Private Tour offers an intimate experience, limited to a maximum of six guests, with comfortable private transportation from Manila.
