Terrazas de Flores Botanical Garden in Cebu features flower terraces that boast some 127 species of the region's local flower varieties. The garden was built by the local farmers using the same traditional technique of interlocking stones as used on the Banaue Rice Terraces.

The cool mountain breeze and stunning view make the gardens a pleasant escape from the madness of the city. Besides the picturesque flowerbeds, it also has cabanas and viewing decks, as well as a modest café.
