Mount Makiling is located here in the province of Laguna on the island of Luzon in the Philippines. The mountain is named after Maria Makiling, a legendary fairy associated with local folklore who is said to protect the mountain and its surrounding forests.
Mount Makiling is popular among locals and tourists. The trails offer varying degrees of difficulty, with the summit hike being particularly challenging but rewarding with panoramic views of Laguna de Bay and surrounding areas. The mountain also features hot springs, mud springs, and diverse flora and fauna, making it a favourite destination for nature lovers and adventure seekers.
I took that yesterday when we went back to the field; Mount Makiling is visible from our place.
