Si Ifugao

The Ifugao Rice Terraces represent an outstanding example of human-environmental harmony and interaction. Located in the Philippine Cordillera mountain range on the northern island of Luzon, the Rice Terraces, carved by ancient Ifugao communities are a marvel of engineering and hydrology that have survived because of a vibrant, living Indigenous culture. The rice fields are central to traditions: communal rice planting, sowing, weeding and harvesting rituals bind villages together in a distinct way of life.
