Nature reserve
Mount Hamiguitan
A mountain of 1,620 metres with a pygmy forest of century-old trees growing in ultramafic soil, and the first UNESCO World Heritage Site in Mindanao.
The range covers 6,834 hectares. It became a national park and wildlife sanctuary in 2003 and a World Heritage Site in 2014, the sixth in the country. Philippine eagles live in it, with several pitcher plants, two of which (Nepenthes peltata and Nepenthes micramphora) grow nowhere else. The usual way in is from San Isidro.
