Majestic Banaue Rice Terraces: A Gem on the Philippines Map

Nestled in the heart of the Philippines, the Banaue Rice Terraces stand as a testament to the ingenuity and rich cultural heritage of the Filipino people. Carved into the Cordillera Central mountain range, these terraces are a stunning display of ancient agricultural engineering, earning them a well-deserved spot on the global stage. 

Banaue is located in the Ifugao Province, a region known for its vibrant indigenous culture and awe-inspiring landscapes. To locate this enchanting destination on the Philippines map, one must head north from Manila, the country's bustling capital. The journey unveils a scenic route through picturesque mountains and lush greenery, providing a taste of the natural beauty that awaits in Banaue.

The highlight of any visit to Banaue is undoubtedly the iconic Banaue Rice Terraces. Often referred to as the "Eighth Wonder of the World," these terraces were carved into the mountains over 2,000 years ago by the Ifugao people. The engineering marvel allows the cultivation of rice on steep slopes, showcasing the harmonious coexistence of man and nature. Visitors are greeted with mesmerizing views of tiered fields that stretch as far as the eye can see, creating a landscape that is both humbling and awe-inspiring.

Apart from the breathtaking terraces, Banaue, Philippines tourist attractions have a lot on offer for the discerning traveler that make it a well-rounded destination. The Banaue Museum provides a deep dive into the region's history and culture, featuring artifacts and exhibits that narrate the story of the Ifugao people. It serves as an excellent starting point for understanding the traditions that have shaped the landscape and its people.

For those seeking an adventure, trekking through the terraces and surrounding villages is an experience like no other. The Batad Rice Terraces, often considered more challenging to reach, offer a more secluded and authentic encounter with the Ifugao way of life. The trek is rewarded with panoramic views and a chance to interact with locals, gaining insights into their customs and traditions.

The Banaue Viewpoint is another must-visit spot, providing a panoramic vista of the terraces and the valley below. The sunrise and sunset views from this vantage point are simply breathtaking, casting a golden hue over the landscape and turning the terraces into a mesmerizing tapestry of colors.

The Tappiya Falls, nestled amidst the verdant mountains, is a refreshing stop for nature lovers. A trek through lush forests leads to this cascading waterfall, offering a serene escape and a chance to cool off in its crystal-clear waters. The journey to Tappiya Falls also allows travelers to witness the diverse flora and fauna that thrive in the region.

To complete the Banaue experience, exploring the local markets and engaging with the Ifugao people is a must. The vibrant Banaue Market is a hub of activity, showcasing traditional crafts, textiles, and local delicacies. Interacting with the locals provides a unique opportunity to learn about their customs and gain a deeper appreciation for the rich cultural tapestry of the Philippines.

So, mark Banaue on your Philippines map, and embark on a journey to discover the magic of this cultural and natural wonder.

Rice Terraces Rice

This is rice from the world famous Rice Terraces of Banaue. Harvest season for this kind of rice is just once a year. That's why it's PhP 150.00/kilogram, three (3) times the price of a regular rice...

I bought it anyway. I bought a kilo, just because I wanted to taste rice planted in Banaue Rice Terraces. Haha.

Global Efforts to Safeguard Ifugao Heritage amid Climate Crisis

The Ifugao Rice Terraces face climate change threats, prompting a conference to integrate scientific and indigenous knowledge for sustainable, culturally appropriate solutions and global climate heritage training initiatives

via The Philippine Star, 11 November 2023: The Ifugao Rice Terraces in the Philippines, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, are facing significant threats due to climate change, including changing temperatures, depleted water sources, and increased storm severity. To address these challenges, a conference titled “Climate Risk and Resilience at the Rice Terraces of the Philippine Cordilleras” was…

"In 1995, the Banaue Rice Terraces was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site and regarded as a perfect example of a precolonial relic predating the Spaniards’ arrival in the archipelago by 2,000 years. 

That claim was challenged by the Ifugao Archaeological Project, which suggested in 2015 the rice terraces were in fact, a result of Spanish colonization."

Thank you, sincerely, for your addition to that post. I understand where OP was coming from but I still took so much issue with pretty much the same things you did and you put it into words perfectly.

The thing that strikes me most deeply is the suggestion that it's propaganda. IMO, it's a very valid concern, because if handled improperly, "racebending" can indeed become revisionist. But I think very many of us have alternate takes on these characters specifically because sticking to "you must remind everyone of state oppression and you must do this by having your character look a certain way" is exhausting for us. I don't get any joy out of it. I can see how it can be cathartic for some, but it's viscerally upsetting to me because it opens up that trauma. I am tired of the focus being placed on how my people suffered instead of how my people LIVED. When I "racebend" it's because I want to tell a story that is too often forgotten. It's forgotten because of the same things OP is upset about. We are all coming from more or less the same place of frustration. But that frustration will present itself differently depending on the individual and that can't be changed. I appreciate the call to think critically instead of just "applying a new paint job" for lack of a better term, because yes it can end up revisionist if it's done thoughtlessly. But there's still that broad brush assumption that we ARE doing it thoughtlessly or don't know any better/don't know what's best for us, and that's where I can't agree. I don't like to be told that my work is propaganda when half the reason I do it in the first place is to subvert propaganda that has been used against me. I will not open up my own trauma to appease someone else's take.

Ngl I've been (mostly privately) getting appreciations sent for it so this has been validating QvQ

Again, I get that it wasn't an attack on every fan who racebends, so I cannot help but beg the follow-up question: if not everyone, then who exactly? And how do you know they fit the bill? One of the last things I want is for people to automatically see fanart of a Hetalia character colored differently from the canon works, whether it be straight from Himaruya's jazz hands or the studios making the anime series, and assume it's a racist caricature or smth. Someone once mistook one of my moots' Piri, who has since drawn him moreno, to be a black N. Italy. 😭💀

Pardon me for this brief addition because my professors DRILLED this into our heads that historical revisionism (updating previously established historical truths thanks to newfound research) =/= historical distortion (intentional curation of information such that it favors a certain agenda).

A great (and local!) example of historical revisionism is the Banaue Rice Terraces. For the longest time, we were taught that they were built since the precolonial age (~2000 years), but research published back in 2009 revealed they were most likely constructed after 1585 (~400 years). If academic papers are intimidating, here's a video that breaks down the same research and an article that summarizes its role in historical revisionism. For historical distortion, I just have to point at the propaganda (yes, it really was!!!) upholding the Marcos, sr. regime as a "golden age" of rich-bitch thriving for the Philippines. Here's a great Tiktok video with captions with an introductory breakdown of the economic situation during Martial Law.

Going back, racebending can be distortionist. Once more, it all boils back to highlighting the state, and lbr why do we have to validate our own nasty governments lol. 😭 I wish not for my bayanihan ideals to be twisted as delusions for a greater evil.

REVERT: A PERSONAL EXTREME EXPERIENCE IN SURVIVING AT SAGADA

A different place, a peculiar view, and different faces of people, but here I am wandering on a different path. Going back to where we'd gone together with a new set of people and a new destination, we went to Sagada. Sagada is located in the Mountain Province, where it is well known for its rice terraces. It was a long and tiring journey because of the almost 10 hours of travel time. When we went there, we first stopped by the most famous Banaue rice terrace view deck. I was very stunned by its beautiful creation and refreshing air. We took a lot of pictures and videos, too. When we’ve reached the sagada, where we will go check in, their accommodation is like a home, and you will feel like you’re in your own home. Because of the group of people that I have, it was more meaningful to stay in the sagada. Some of them are my close friends, and some of them are my sister’s friends. That’s why I made a new connection with them since I get along well with them too!

After a little rest, we prepare our lunch together so that we can eat first before embarking on our first thrilling expedition. We have a tour guide who leads us and gives us an overview of the areas we are visiting. The first is the church of Saint Mary the Virgin; following that, we go for a few minutes, going down and up, to see another perspective of the other mountain. After a long trek, we arrived at Sagada's most famous hanging coffins! Its history was highly relevant because it was created there with the intention of bringing the person closer to God. 

We arrived at the cave after a long walk, but it was closed due to bad weather, so we had to cross the falls, which was a very different and new experience for us because we needed to be strong because the level of the water in the falls was rising and the waves were very strong. After ascending to that large rock, I was astonished because this was not what I expected from our trip. We were exhausted after passing through those extreme falls, but we were also really thrilled, and we nearly passed out from our amazing trip. The next stop is Sagada weaving, where we may meet the individuals who make the woven handicrafts. After a long and stressful day, we simply strolled about Sagada, soaking up the cool breeze and enjoying the calm town.

We started our journey at 6 a.m. the other day and nearly crossed two mountains before arriving at the most famous sea of clouds. But first, we climbed through the muddy slopes, which was really slippery and tough because we had to grab each other's hands so we didn't slip and fall down the hills. It was a terrifying experience for me because I am frightened of heights. 

But after all the difficult hiking, including trudging in the rain and getting slipped in the mountains, it was all worthwhile! After we'd finished hiking, we had fun, and I almost shouted, "YEHEY, I SURVIVED SAGADA!" It was very fulfilling to experience an unfamiliar adventure where I almost surrendered myself to hiking, but it wasn't just my experience that fulfilled it, but also my group of people, because while we're hiking, we almost share our entire life story because we're talking while walking the long journey of the mountains so we don't get bored. 

This is my first time experiencing adventure tourism in Sagada, and I believe it will be the most unique and worthwhile place to come with my friends. This Sagada event will remain my top core memory because it is when our friendship with them began and we created new memories with new individuals, which led to new friendships.

International Mountain Day 2023

Mountains are essential for human lives and livelihoods, providing resources such as freshwater, energy, and food. Their conservation is crucial for achieving sustainable development goals. International Mountain Day 2023, which is observed on December 11, is an opportunity for us to increase awareness and call for nature-based solutions, best practices, and investments that can enhance the resilience and adaptability of mountain ecosystems.

International Mountain Day 2023, with the theme "Restoring Mountain Ecosystems," aims to raise awareness about the importance of these ecosystems. It calls for nature-based solutions, best practices, and investments that can enhance resilience, reduce vulnerability, and enable mountains to adapt to daily threats and extreme climate events.

Mountains, the natural jewels that we should cherish, are facing numerous threats. They are not only home to 15% of the world's population but also host half of the world's biodiversity hotspots. These majestic landscapes provide freshwater for everyday life to half of humanity, while also supporting agriculture, clean energy, and medicine production.

Banaue

Their ancestors carved the mountains to grow rice. Digging terrasses, erecting walls, preparing the mud cake, plating, replanting, watering, caring to finally harvesting once a year... Herculean to make, Sisyphean to maintain. Fewer and fewer want to put this kind of pressure upon their shoulders, to sacrifice their backs for the rice. Other plants sells better, many would rather go to the City. Can't blame them.

https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Banaue

/* Pencil doodle on A6 sketchbook - Porte-mine sur carnet A6 */

Leurs ancêtres ont modelé la montagne pour faire pousser le riz. Creuser les terrasses, monter des murs, préparer le lit de limon, planter, replanter, irriguer, nettoyer pour finalement récolter une fois l'an. Herculéen à mettre en place, sisyphéen à maintenir. Ils sont de moins en moins nombreux  à accepter un tel fardeau, à sacrifier leurs dos pour le riz. D'autres plantes se vendent mieux, et beaucoup rêvent de monter à la Ville. Qui pourrait les blâmer?
