Nature lovers that travel to Manila must visit the spectacular rice terraces around Banaue, in north Luzon, which have been described as the eighth wonder of the world. Listed in the UNESCO World Heritage List, the terraces have been carved out of the hillside by the Ifugao tribe 2,000 to 3,000 years ago. These remarkable verdant terraces stretch like stepping-stones to the sky - some reaching an altitude of 1,500 metres.
