Ifugao, Cordillera Administrative Region

The rice terraces stand as a testament to the ingenuity, culture, and tradition of the people who lived in the Cordillera mountain range and carved these “stairways to heaven” out of necessity 2,000 years ago. Depending on what you want to see, you could visit the rice terraces during planting or harvest seasons or when it’s at its greenest, but skip the rainy season (June to November) to avoid landslides and Christmas, New Year, and Easter to avoid the crowd.
