Ifugao | The 2000-year-old beauty of Batad Rice Terraces


 


History.


It was more that 2,000 years ago when parts of the Cordillera mountain range were carved off to plant rice. It manifests the engineering skill and ingenuity of the sturdy Ifugaos. They are irrigated by means of mountain streams and springs that have been tapped and channeled into canals that run downhill through the rice terraces. Up until now, its centuries-old beauty remained. More to this knowledge handed down from generations to generations, it is also their expression of the sacred traditions, customs and culture that the Ifugaos have.

Tappiya Falls

After the trek to Batad Rice Terraces' peak, we immediately went down to where the falls is. There are several stops where one can actually buy some food and refreshments after the long walk but be warned on how pricey they are! Well, we had no choice so we bought some refreshments anyway.

Photograph | My Rice Terraces Dream


 

Centuries-old beauty of Batad Rice Terraces

Overwhelmed that I was able to go to another dream destination of mine, first was El Nido of last year, I am out of words on how I should start my Banaue-Batad posts. I think I should give you a quick background when I was still a student in Dumaguete, Negros Oriental. I've never had an idea that I would be able to travel after I graduated, back then those picturesque photos in our history textbooks were just my dream destinations. I do not have the luxury to spend another peso aside from my school-student assistant-tutor sideline-assignments/projects/studying regime 'coz I needed to maintain grades for the scholarships.
