Batad Rice Terraces

The Batad Rice Terraces are the cinematic face of the Ifugao highlands — a vast amphitheater of stone-walled paddies carved into the mountainside over 2,000 years ago, sometimes called the 'Eighth Wonder of the World' and part of the UNESCO-listed Cordillera Rice Terraces. Reaching Batad village means a tricycle ride then a hike down into the bowl, with traditional huts, the Tappiya Falls trek below the terraces, and homestays run by Ifugao families who'll cook you tinawon rice they grew themselves. Best for travelers willing to make the long trip from Manila for one of the most striking landscapes in the Philippines.
