Nestled deeper in the Heartland of the Cordilleras, are the Banaue Rice Terraces, dubbed the eight wonder of the world. The terraces were carved out of the mountain ranges centuries ago by the oldest mountain tribe in the area, the Ifugaos. Measured from end to end, the terraces would strech a total length of 22,400 kilometers.

     The rice terraces in northern Luzon are the most extensive in the world and have been declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
