Montane rainforest on the slopes of Mt. Makiling offering mossy trails, bamboo groves, waterfalls, streams and rich understory—great for intimate forest scenes, macro of ferns and insects, birds and landscape shots of the volcanic ridge. Best visited at dawn for mist and soft light or after rain for saturated greens. Trails are moderately easy; small entrance fee and parking near the park gate. Respect research-area rules (site linked to UP Los Baños) and avoid disturbing wildlife.
