Declared as UNESCO’s World Heritage Site, ASEAN Heritage Park, and a Protected Area in the Philippines – Mount Hamiguitan Range Wildlife Sanctuary is renowned for its rich biodiversity, lush forests, and natural treasures.
The Sanctuary is famed for the unique pygmy forest featuring trees that are centuries old while housing plenty of endangered, endemic, and rare species of flora and fauna. Among them are the Philippine Eagles and several species of Nepenthes.
The trek takes three days, where you will be hiking for 5-6 hours per day. Waiting at the peak for the bravest of climbers is the Tinagong Dagat and the Twin Falls.
