Exceptional. There is a way that you can go through and the view is incredible. Statues/the strange figures adorn the sidewalks. Let's hope they can keep it like this and not lose it for development.
Jatiluwih rice field terraces are very fun and we enjoyed the visit more of Paddy Tegallalang which also we visit. The view is amazing and there is a wide selection of trekking around the terraces ranging from approximately 1.9 Km to 7 km, which is well marked.
Very interesting to see how the irrigation works and how they are pumping water from the mountains around the terrace so that all farmers get their share fair! There are many options in Jatiluwih refreshment and the whole area is a UNESCO World Heritage site so hopefully will remain a property in Bali.
The beautiful panoramic terrace, green, lush, and seems to hold for miles. Nature is amazing and well worth a half day of time for anyone to visit.
Truly mesmerizing look at the cows in their cages, the farmers worked in the fields that are far away and enjoy the tranquility.
