Banaue Rice Terraces

(in Philippines > Cordillera Administrative Region > Ifugao > Banaue)

Not worth visiting!

Stunning...

but much too touristy for my taste. Blame the anthropologist in me but I had a hard time feeling comfortable with a place that’s come to revolve around obnoxious foreigners who will pay anything to hear somebody play “native” music dressed up in a ceremony outfit. The terraces are unbelievably gorgeous but I would go elsewhere in the Philippines to see them; somewhere that hasn’t been changed so much by tourists.
