The Codcod rice terraces are the results of the artistic labor and dedication of the Codcod locals. With the cool weather, stunning views of Mt. Kanlaon, and the wonderful people, the terraces could possibly be the next ecotourism site. The Codcod Rice Terraces are located in Barangay Codcod, an upland barangay of San Carlos City.

From San Carlos City, take a bus bound to Bacolod. Alight at the crossing going to Barangay Quezon. From there, hire a habal-habal that will take you to Barangay Codcod after passing Barangay Quezon. Alternately, you can also hire a habal-habal from San Carlos City proper to go directly to Barangay Codcod.  Read More:  http://wikimapia.org/38323399/Codcod-Rice-Terraces

For producing more than half of the country’s sugar supply, the province of Negros Occidental has been known as the “Sugarland” of the Philippines.

But there are more attractions than just vast sugarcane plantations, like the province’s mountain resorts and vacation villas, sparkling white beaches, unique arts and crafts, ancestral homes, and now, its diverse rice and vegetable terraces.

The emerging tourism destination is now known as the Codcod Rice and Vegetable Terraces.

The terraces are located at the different sitios of Barangay Codcod, an upland village in San Carlos City, which is located very near the foot of the famous Mount Kanlaon.

Since farming is the main source of livelihood of the people of Barangay Codcod, it is not surprising to know that they carved out these very impressive rice and vegetable terraces from the mountain sides in their village.   Read More: https://www.panaynews.net/codcod-an-emerging-agri-tourism-destination/
