The first historical site is Pakerisan Valley. It is actually the river valley, which is situated in Gianyar Regency. The valley containing the prehistoric and pre-Majaphahit archaeological sites providing evidence of Bali's early Hindus and Buddhist settlement.

The second one is Jatiluwih Rice Terraces. This picturesque and mystifying terraces found only in Bali. It is situated in the region of Tabanan and this site is among the most striking examples of terraced agriculture in the world.
