Neuva Vizcaya Province is located to the south of Isabella. Fairly undeveloped and more than half the inhabiants live in the countryside, growing vegetables, rice and weaving baskets. Many travellers merely pass through Neuva Vizcaya, because at Bagabag in the north is the turning for the road to the famous rice-terraces of Banaue. The most important towns of the province are Solana, Bambang and the provincial capital Bayombong. Banaue is located just an hour drivefrom Bagabag is famous for its rice-terrace, the oldest date back from 1,000 to 2,000 years ago. They are a sight to behold. Nestled within the Cordillera ranges in central Philippines, they reach up to a height of 1,500 meters and if stretched end to end, will extend to over 20,000 km. It is mystifying how the ancient Ifugaos with their primitive tools and olden method were able to achieve this singular feat of engineering. Banaue town have properly retained much of its timeless ways. The town has a number of handicraft shops selling baskets, carvings and woven fabrics. German anthropologist H. Otley beyer is the first outsider to be accepted and now honor in the Ifugao tradition for bringing the Banaue Rice Terrace to international attention.
