Philippines Batad Rice Terrace

The famous rice terraces in Banaue, Philippines.

Bring a tripod, polarizer (to enhance reflections, especially from the water paddies) and an ND filter is optional according to taste.

Take a bus from Manila (Overnight) and take a local guide when you arrive there (don't book in advance to avoid getting ripped off). There are a few places with rice terraces, i think Batad has the nicest. when you're in Batad (Village), look for the trail that goes to the waterfall. on the way you'll see spectacular views of the rice fields. Just prepare for a hike and don't fall into one of the paddies.
