Dubbed as the Eight Wonder of the World.  The rice terrace  starts from the base of the mountain range and reach up to several thousand feet high.  It is said that its length, if put end to end would encircle half of the globe.  Made 2,000 years ago, these rice terraces manifest the engineering skill and ingenuity of the sturdy Ifugaos.  In 1995, it was inscribed in the UNESCO Heritage List as a Continuing Cultural Landscape.
