Maligcong Rice Terraces

Maligcong Rice Terraces are traditional stone-walled rice terraces located in Barangay Maligcong, about 3 kilometers north of Bontoc town in Mountain Province, northern Luzon, Philippines. Built and maintained by the Bontok people over generations, the terraces cascade down mountain slopes surrounding the village. Known for their scenic layered landscape and sunrise views over Mount Kupapey, they represent a living agricultural heritage and remain actively cultivated for rice farming.

Visitors can expect layered stone-walled rice terraces cascading down steep mountain slopes around Maligcong village, with panoramic viewpoints overlooking the terraces, the village, and surrounding peaks including Mount Kupapey and Mount Fato. The setting is rural and agricultural, with narrow footpaths, stone steps, and trails connecting viewpoints and the village. Visitors can walk along terrace edges, observe seasonal rice cultivation, interact with local Bontok community, and experience sunrise and sunset views over the terraced landscape.
