'''Ifugao''', officially the '''Province of Ifugao''' ({{lang-ilo|Probinsia ti Ifugao}}; {{lang-tl|Lalawigan ng Ifugao}}), is a landlocked [[Provinces of the Philippines|province]] of the [[Philippines]] in the [[Cordillera Administrative Region]] in [[Luzon]]. Its capital is [[Lagawe, Ifugao|Lagawe]] and it borders [[Benguet]] to the west, [[Mountain Province]] to the north, [[Isabela (province)|Isabela]] to the east, and [[Nueva Vizcaya]] to the south.
The [[Rice Terraces of the Philippine Cordilleras]] and [[Banaue Rice Terraces]] are the main tourist attractions in the province. These terraces are believed to have been hand-carved into the mountains 2,000 years ago to plant rice. However, recent research by [[carbon dating]] suggests that they were built much later.<ref>{{Cite news |last=Cabreza |first=Vincent |date=July 15, 2013 |title=For Ifugao Rice Terraces, Age Should Not Matter |work=Inquirer.net |url=https://newsinfo.inquirer.net/445493/for-ifugao-rice-terraces-age-should-not-matter |access-date=August 15, 2022}}</ref> In 1995, the Rice Terraces of the Philippine Cordilleras were declared as a [[UNESCO]] [[World Heritage Site]].<ref name="UNESCO World Heritage Centre" /> In 2008 and 2015, the ''Hudhud chants of the Ifugao'' and the ''[[Punnuk]] ([[Tugging Rituals and Games|Tugging rituals and games]])'' were inscribed in the [[UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage Lists]].<ref>{{Cite web |last=Respicio |first=Norma A. |date=n.d. |title=Punnuk, the Tugging Ritual in Hungduan, Closing an Agricultural Cycle |url=http://ichcourier.ichcap.org/en/punnuk-the-tugging-ritual-in-hungduan-closing-an-agricultural-cycle/ |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180402234949/http://ichcourier.ichcap.org/en/punnuk-the-tugging-ritual-in-hungduan-closing-an-agricultural-cycle/ |archive-date=April 2, 2018 |access-date=January 16, 2018 |website=ICH Courier Online}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=The Hudhud Chants of the Ifugao |url=https://www.unesco.org/archives/multimedia/document-1735 |access-date=August 14, 2022 |website=UNESCO |date=December 22, 2010 |language=en}}</ref>
