Banaue is located on the Cordillera mountain range in northern Luzon, about 350km north of Manila. The Banaue Rice Terraces were built into the mountains of Ifugao over 2000 years ago, together with a complex irrigation system which distributes natural water from the rainforest and mountains above. They demonstrate an incredible ingenuity and provide a visually spectacular and unique landscape.
