The Rice Terraces of the Philippine Cordilleras is the collective UNESCO designation for five distinct terrace clusters: Banaue, Batad, Bangaan, Mayoyao, and Kiangan. Each cluster showcases unique stone-walled or mud-walled terraces that have been continuously cultivated for centuries. Visitors can explore the more accessible Banaue terraces or trek to the remote Batad amphitheater terraces for a deeper experience. The site is a living cultural landscape where traditional rituals and farming practices persist.
