Daily Photo - Banaue, Philippines
2008-02-11 19:58:00 The Rice Terraces of Banaue are one of the most impressive things I’ve seen on my trip. For miles around the village of Banaue, the mountains have been carved by local residents to grow rice. They have been carving terraces for over a thousand years and are still making more terraces today. I’m sure ...

2008-01-11 13:56:00 A few weeks ago, Tutubi was asked by a friend, while holding a crisp 1000 peso bill, if he's been to the famous Banaue Rice Terraces.

Banaue mornings and a stopover in Dupax
2007-12-07 16:39:00 Imagine waking up to the cool Banaue morning with a view of the rice terraces and tree-covered mountains just outside your window. That's what I experienced at the Banaue Hotel for the past few days, with rooms, function rooms and a restaurant that provides panoramic views of the rice terraces. That's one cluster of terraces in the Banaue poblacion which is still free from eyesores and other unsightly structures.It was our last day in Banaue and I'll definitely miss the cool mountain air and the great views. Before leaving for Manila, we listened to Ifugao Governor Teddy Baguilat talk about the challenges they have been facing in the preservation of the rice terraces and possible solutions to these problems. It's indeed very difficult to push for the preservation of these terraces when almost every young Ifugao dreams of making it big in the city, when G.I. sheets and hollow blocks become a status symbol. But there is definitely hope since the community realizes now that they ar...

We're off to Banaue
2007-12-03 13:09:00 Today, the delegates of the ICOMOS-CIAV Scientific Conference 2007 proceeded to Banaue where we will be staying for the next few days. The scientific conference is an annual meeting of vernacular heritage experts from around the globe. I was asleep for most of the trip since I did not get enough sleep the previous nights. We stopped by Balete Pass along the way. More popularly known as Dalton Pass, this marks the boundary between Nueva Ecija and Nueva Vizcaya, and therefore Central Luzon and Cagayan Valley as well.We had a sumptuous lunch at the Governor's Hotel in Solano town. As we arrived, we were welcomed by a marching band from the local elementary school. After lunch, we were off to Banaue. Again, I was fast asleep so there's nothing much I could say. And the next thing I knew, we had arrived.The view from my room in the Banaue Hotel was great. Imagine waking up in the morning and the first thing you'll see are rice terraces and tree-covered mountains. Dinner was superb too...

Banaue Rice Terraces is the 8th Wonder of the World
2007-09-22 04:01:00 Did you know......that UNESCO List of World Heritage named the Banaue Rice Terraces the Eight Wonder of the World? It also earned citations from the prominent American Society of Civil Engineers. This 2,000-year-old engineering wonder is actually rice fields built manually by the Ifugaos (local native people of Banaue) to provide themselves a source of livelihood in the highlands. Basically, the irrigation system that were skillfully put in place comes from the mountain streams, enough to support and grow a fine harvest.For some, it?s just a ricefield. But when I was younger, I was taught that the Terraces is our stairway to heaven.Visit its official site for more information. It's a must-see for tourists like you.Find this site helpful?
