Batad Rice Terraces
The Batad Rice Terraces are amphitheater-shaped rice terraces located in Barangay Batad, Banaue, Ifugao, Philippines. Part of the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Rice Terraces of the Philippine Cordilleras, they were carved into the mountains by Ifugao ancestors using traditional knowledge and stone-walled engineering. Known for their well-preserved concentric terraces, active cultivation, and dramatic mountain setting, they exemplify ancient sustainable agriculture and Ifugao cultural heritage.
