Acesso

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)
