Philippine Nature







Rice Terraces

Ifugao, up in the north of the Philippines, is known for its Rice Terraces. The terraces are particularly located in the municipalities of Banaue, Hungduan, Kiangan and Mayoyao. The Banaue Rice Terraces are also known as the “Eighth Wonder of the World”. These rice terraces were built along the mountain sides like stairways reaching the sky. They were constructed approximately 2,000 years ago by the Ifugaos using bare hands and wood as tools. Meanwhile, Batad is also popular for its amphitheater-shaped rice terraces.



Chocolate Hills




The Chocolate Hills are some 1268 hillocks, ranging from 20 to 50 metres in height, which dominate the landscape for miles around. In the morning if you can watch the sunrise over the mysterious landscaped during summer months, their grass covering dries out, turning them a 'Chocolate' brown, hence their name. As it rose, it will gradually illuminate the fields exposing the awe-inspiring surroundings of Bohol. In which Bohol, Philippines dubbed as “God’s Little Paradise” showcases the attractions that make Bohol a favorite summer hideaway for locals and foreigners alike, surely one of the most stunning natural backdrops in the world.
