About this place

Mayoyao Rice Terraces are located about 40 km east of more famous Banau rice terraces. These terraces are better preserved but they are somehow less visited. The most obvious reason is that Mayoyao is not as reachable as Banau due to high mountains that circle a large valley. These rice terraces are cut into the slopes of these beautiful mountains. The rice cultivated in this area is called tinawon. Since the rice tradition in this area is long people have learned to make other products out of rice such as rice wine that they gladly offer to the visitors.

Visitors who want to find out more about the traditions in the area can visit the museum or event come at the period of rice harvest during June and July and see the entire process and hard labor necessary for the successful cultivation of rice.
