Details

Zugang

Mount Makiling Forest Reserve lies within 65 km of Metro Manila. It's just an hour away from Manila. Press P on the map for directions to the parking at the entrance. The reserve has several hiking trails. Along the Mariang Makiling Trail - the main trail that is indicated on the map - many birds can be observed. The trail is 17 km out and back and takes at least 6 hours. But of course you can choose to only walk a part of it. Good walking shoes are a must and the path can be very muddy during the rainy season. Operating hours: 8:00 AM to 3:00 PM, entrance fee: PHP 30 (2025)
