Philippines has some of the most amazing wonders of nature, we take a chance to showcase some of
the finest of what Philppines can offer.
Mountain of Rice
Banaue Rice Terraces, Banaue, Ifugao, Philippines
The Banaue Rice Terraces are 2000-year old terraces that were carved
into the mountains of Ifugao in the Philippines by ancestors of the
Batad indigenous people. The Rice Terraces are commonly referred to by
Filipinos as the “Eighth Wonder of the World”. It is commonly thought
that the terraces were built with minimal equipment, largely by hand.
The terraces are located approximately 1500 meters (5000 ft) above sea
level and cover 10,360 square kilometers (about 4000 square miles) of
mountainside. They are fed by an ancient irrigation system from the
rainforests above the terraces. It is said that if the steps are put end
to end it would encircle half the globe.
The Banaue terraces are part of the Rice Terraces of the Philippine Cordilleras,
ancient sprawling man-made structures from 2,000 to 6,000 years old.
They are found in the provinces of Apayao, Benguet, Mountain Province
and Ifugao, and are a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Mt. Pinatubo’s Artwork
Mount Pinatubo is an active stratovolcano located on the island of
Luzon, at the intersection of the borders of the Philippine provinces of
Zambales, Tarlac, and Pampanga.
Ruins of Santo Domingo
The place looks eerie and equally haunting. While the ruins of Cagsawa
is closer to Legazpi city, more photographed and more famous, the ruins
around Santo Domingo shows a lot of Mt. Mayon’s destructive power. Its
perfect cone, its “seven wonders of the world” tag, its beauty, time and
time again tries to hide its monstrous side. After all, this is the
most active volcano in the Philippines.
