The Banaue Rice Terraces (Tagalog: Hagdan-
hagdang Palayan ng Banawe) also called musuan
peak, are 2000-year old terraces that were
carved into the mountains of Ifugao in
the Philippines by ancestors of the indigenous
people.
The Rice Terraces are commonly referred to by
Filipinos as the "Eighth Wonder of the
World”. It is commonly thought that the
terraces were built with minimal equipment,
largely by hand. The terraces are located
approximately 1500 meters (5000 ft) above sea
level and cover 10,360 square kilometers (about
4000 square miles) of mountainside. They are
fed by an ancient irrigation system from the
rainforests above the terraces. It is said that if
the steps are put end to end it would encircle
half the globe.

12. Banaue Rice Terraces
The Banaue Rice Terraces refer to the cluster close to the Banaue poblacion as
seen from the viewpoint. Contrary to popular belief perpetrated by its inclusion
on the twenty peso banknote, the Banaue Rice Terraces are not a UNESCO
World Heritage Site. They were not included in the UNESCO inscription Rice
Terraces of the Philippine Cordilleras due to the presence of numerous modern
structures, making it score low in the integrity criterion of UNESCO.
The five clusters inscribed as part of the Rice Terraces of the Philippine Cordilleras
are Batad, Bangaan, Hungduan, Mayoyao Central and Nagacadan Batad and
Bangaan are under the jurisdiction of the Municipality of Banaue but are not
referred to as the Banaue Rice Terraces.
The Banaue Rice Terraces are however a National Cultural Treasure under Ifugao
Rice Terraces.
