Overview

Located in Davao Oriental, Mt. Hamiguitan is a UNESCO World Heritage. It’s the 6th location in the Philippines to be declared as a UNESCO site. It stands at 1,620 meters above sea level and is a critical habitat for numerous plants and animals.

This mountain has 12 endemic floras and faunas (6 Flora & 6 Fauna) and is home to the endemic Philippine Eagle and Cockatoo. But more than being a habitat, Mt. Hamiguitan is known for its Pygmy forest also called the “Bonsai Forest”. It is composed of the century-old trees that are miniature in size that collectively create a unique landscape. Walking among these trees will make any person feel like a giant!

Here’s a 3-day Itinerary for you to discover the beauty of Mt. Hamiguitan!

Note: Mt. Hamiguitan is closed as of the moment but is said to open by Mid October 2024. We will be updating everyone if this hike will be pushing through.
