Rice Terraces In Luzon

By admin On June 20, 2011 Under Travel & Leisure

The mountainous provinces of northern Luzon in the Philippines are famed for their rice terraces, the steepest in the world, carved into the side of impossibly steep slopes. These terraces are irrigated by bamboo pipes and ingenious mud canals and, after over 2,000 years, have stood the test of time.
