Jatiluwih Rice Terraces

One place you can not miss on your visit to Bali, is the rice terraces. Across the island, we can see how the Balinese cultivate rice on terraces or balconies that go downhill, forming a green carpet in contrast with the blue of the sky. Over a thousand years ago the Balinese used this method to make terraces to plant their rice, and these terraces are called the steps that lead to the gods, since rice is very important part of liffe and religious traditions. Planting rice is followed by a ritual and there is also a special day to plant seedlings, and harvest. This ritual is offered to the gods to protect the harvest.

Jatiluwih is two hours from Ubud and it's really wonderful. It is an area of ​​rice fields, which stretch for around 18kms. It has been recognized by UNESCO and is one of the most beautiful places I have ever been to.
