Welcome to the home of the 8th Wonder of the World! Believed to have been built 2,000 years ago, these stairways to the sky is an engineering marvel that is proof to the ingenuity of the ancient free people of Ifugao. The terraces reveal much of the culture of the province's tribal people. In fact, it has been inscribed in UNESCO's World Heritage List in 1995 as "a continuing cultural landscape".

The most photographed terraces are those located in the barangays of Viewpoint, Batad, Bangaan, and Ducligan. However, the amphitheater-like terraces in Barangay Batad are considered by many as the most spectacular.
