3Rice Terraces of the Philippine Cordilleras, Philippines

The Rice Terraces of the Philippine Cordilleras are an outstanding example of an ancient, sustainable agricultural system. For over 2,000 years, the Ifugao people have cultivated these terraces in the highlands of Luzon Island.

The terraces, carved into the mountainside, create a stunning landscape that demonstrates the ingenuity and harmony between human activity and nature. Despite their beauty and cultural significance, these terraces are less visited than other Southeast Asian wonders.
