With peace, fresh, and tranquility, the atmosphere is so different than the metropolitan, which is full with hustle and traffic. Jatiluwih becomes a choice for those who want to rid stress on mind. The rice terrace itself doesn’t have any history because Jatiluwih is a stretch of paddy field. Balinese people apply ‘subak’ to their field. Subak itself is an irrigation system that has been applying from generation to generation.

As traditional culture, Subak has a temple, which was built to dedicate to Goddess of Prosperity and Goddess of Fertility. In addition, Subak based on culture, and that is why people who live in Jatiluwih respect it because the irrigation system keeps togetherness. The leader of Subak has to be wise to apply this system because the area of Jatiluwih Rice Terrace is wide around 636 hectares. As you come to this place, the natural panorama will accompany you along the street. Fresh air and breezing wind makes the atmosphere of Jatiluwih more refreshing.
