On the territory of more than 10,000 square kilometers at an altitude of 1524 meters above sea level in the mountains Ifuago near the small town of Banaue in the island of Luzon, the Philippines, 250 kilometers from the capital of Manila you can find what the locals call "the eighth wonder of the world." The incredible beauty of its fields, located steps on the mountain slopes. More than three thousand years ago, the ancestors of ancient agricultural tribes people Iifugao, direct descendants who still live in Banaue, transformed the harsh mountain landscape, creating a liveable area. It should be noted, these fields were made virtually by hand, using only primitive tools.

Today, the field is still used to grow rice.
