province of the Philippines
Ifugao is a province in the Philippines. It is in the Cordillera Administrative Region. The capital is Lagawe.
The Rice Terraces of the Philippine Cordilleras and Banaue Rice Terraces are the main tourist attractions in the province. These terraces were carved into the mountains 2,000 years ago to plant rice. In 1995, the Rice Terraces of the Philippine Cordilleras were declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site.[1]
In 2008 and 2015, the Hudhud chants of the Ifugao and the Punnuk (Tugging rituals and games) were inscribed in the UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage List.[2][3]
