Dananao - Tulgao Rice Terraces

The Dananao-Tulgao Rice Terraces are traditional agricultural terraces located in Barangays Dananao and Tulgao in Tinglayan, Kalinga, in the Cordillera Administrative Region of northern Luzon. Built and maintained by Kalinga communities over generations, the terraces cascade down mountain slopes along the Chico River valley. They are notable for their well-preserved stone-walled construction, scenic landscape, and continued use for rice cultivation, representing the living heritage of Cordillera terrace farming culture.

Visitors can expect expansive, stone-walled rice terraces cascading down steep mountain slopes above the Chico River valley. The setting is rural and mountainous, with traditional Kalinga villages, houses on stilts, and active rice fields. Visitors can walk along narrow paddy dikes and village trails, view layered terraces from viewpoints, observe seasonal planting and harvesting activities, and experience local village life. The area is quiet and less developed for tourism than Banaue, offering natural scenery and cultural immersion.
