One of Bali's most impressive attractions is undoubtedly the island's rice terraces. They are not located along the coast - so you have to travel inland to explore them - but they are worth exploring for the unspoilt peace and tranquillity. Of all Bali's rice terraces, Jatiluwih deserves special attention, mainly because tourists prefer Tegalalang rice terraces for insta-photos, although recently the Jatiluwih terrace has started to attract attention, so if you want to see it in its still fully undisturbed form, you'll have to hurry. Jatiluwih is an UNESCO World Heritage Site.
