Ifugao People
The Ifugao people are an indigenous group from the mountainous region of Northern Luzon in the Philippines. They are best known for their remarkable rice terraces, which are often referred to as the "Eighth Wonder of the World." These terraces, carved into the mountains over 2,000 years ago, showcase their advanced agricultural techniques and deep connection to the land.
Traditionally, the Ifugao have a rich cultural heritage that includes unique rituals, music, and art. They practice a form of animism, believing in spirits that inhabit nature. The Ifugao's vibrant traditions and sustainable farming practices continue to be an essential part of their identity today.
