Benguet (La Trinidad)

Mt. Pulag

- Rising to 2, 922 MASL, Mt. Pulag is the highest mountain in Luzon and the third highest in the Philippines. Vast groves of dwarf bamboo grasses cover its rolling summit. These shelter endangered species such as cloud rat while its mossy forests host deer, wild pigs, dove, and many other threatened species. The peak of Mt. Pulag offers one of the best views of sunsets and sunrises. A stunning sea of cloud formations frequently appears as far as the eyes could see.

Mt. Ulap

- Along with Mt. Pulag, Mt. Ulap fares as one of the most popular hiking tourist spots in Benguet. Unlike Mt. Pulag, the trails going to Mt. Ulap’s summit are mostly lined with pine forest stands. There are actually two major jump-off points going to the mountain. The first one commences from Nueva Vizcaya. The second and more popular trail starts from barangay Sante Fe of Itogon. Take note. Mt. Ulap is part of the ancestral domains of Itogon. The peak of Mt. Ulap provides fascinating views of Cordillera’s mountain ranges and even the southern plains dominated by Mt. Arayat.
