Banawe Rice Terraces- refered as the 'Eighth Wonder of the World'. Featured in the 1977 Commemorative Coin. These rice terraces were carved out of the harsh, mountainous landscape of Banaue several thousand years ago. More wondrous is the fact that these terraces are still functional today. Access to Banaue is difficult, as roads are rough, but the effort is always worth it.Accomodations in the rustic towns are simple but comfortable, as well as very inexpensive
.The Banawe rice terraces in the Philippines are one of the world's wonders and have been declared by UNESCO as a world cultural heritage site. Golden rice fields and seemingly endless rice terraces add beauty to the landscape. Rice is also the country's staple food. Though rice is produced throughout the country, the Central Luzon and Cagayan Valley are the major rice growing regions. The wet-season rice crop in the north lasts from June to November and the dry-season crop from January to May-June. In the south it is the reverse: wet-season crops last from October-November to March-April and dry-season crops from May-June to November.
