Ifugao, Province in Cordillera Administrative Region, Philippines.

The mountainous terrain of Ifugao spans across 2,628 square kilometers, featuring elevations that reach up to 2,926 meters at Mount Pulag.

The Spanish colonizers faced strong resistance from Ifugao inhabitants for centuries until the Philippine Revolution brought an end to their occupation attempts.

The indigenous Ifugao people measure social standing through rice land ownership and the capacity to organize agricultural celebration feasts.

Visitors can reach Ifugao by taking a nine-hour bus journey from Manila or driving five hours through the northern region of Luzon.

The province contains five distinct rice terrace clusters that received UNESCO World Heritage recognition in 1995 for their agricultural engineering excellence.
