Words and photographs simply cannot explain the amazing sites we saw. Banue Rice Terraces date back to over 2,000 years. They were carved out of the mountain sides and are naturally irrigated from the Rain Forest above. What's amazing is that they are still being used to grow rice today and they still are naturally irrigated. If you were to put the terraces end to end they would stretch halfway around the world. The scenery is spectacular and then when you couple that with man's ingenuity, it is simply magnificent.
