Banaue Rice Terraces
The Chocolate Hills are probably
Banaue rice terraces has been
described as the eighth wonder of
the world. Carved out of the
hillside by Ifugao tribes people
2000 to 3000 years ago without
the aid of machinery to provide
level steps where the natives
plant rice. And they are still in use
today.
One of the major appeal of
Banaue rice terraces to the local
and international tourist are the
many hiking trails in the area.
There are many young locals,
mostly college students who serve
as guides. But with or without a
guide, you will find the
friendliness and warmth of the
Ifugao people endearing.
The Banaue Rice Terraces are now
showing signs of erosion. Some
areas needs maintenance as some
of the new generation Ifugaos are
migrating to the cities looking for
better opportunities. That given,
the terraces still never fails to awe
the traveller.
Chocolate Hills
Bohol's most famous tourist
attraction. They look like giant
mole hills, or as some say,
women's breasts, and remind us
of the hills in a small child's
drawing. Most people who first
see pictures of this landscape can
hardly believe that these hills are
not a man-made artifact.
However, this idea is quickly
abandoned, as the effort would
surely surpass the construction of
the pyramids in Egypt.
The chocolate hills consist of are
no less than 1268 hills (some
claim this to be the exact
number). They are very uniform
in shape and mostly between 30
and 50 meters high. They are
covered with grass, which, at the
end of the dry season, turns
chocolate brown. From this color,
the hills derive their name. At
other times, the hills are green,
and the association may be a bit
difficult to make.
