Never in a million years, would I, a girl born and raised in the beautiful city of Cebu, think I\u2019d see rice fields so breathtaking in my own backyard. Cebu, known for beaches, mountain peaks, and good food was never known for rice terraces. Discovering that I need not pay a plane ticket and travel to Banaue to see these rice paddies, was a welcome surprise.<\/span><\/p>\n

There, hidden in Barangay Butong, Argao, are rice fields sculpted through time, and well irrigated by natural spring from under a Balete tree. Who would\u2019ve thought, right? The city of Cebu is now not only a beach getaway, but you could also get a glimpse of Banaue\u2019s prided terraces here. Pictures of these beautiful rice fields are in the municipality — proving that they do exist. There\u2019s also something more intimate and special about discovering a hidden gem before the whole city does. You just feel a tad bit closer to nature — something we all need to feel once in a while given our hectic work schedules.<\/span><\/p>\n
