Northern Luzon Heroes Hill National Park

Northern Luzon Heroes Hill National Park is a protected area in Ilocos Sur that extends toward the South China Sea. The land features varied terrain with different elevations and contains distinct habitats that support different plants and animals.

The Philippine government created this protected area in 1963 to honor regional historical figures. This was part of a broader effort to safeguard natural landscapes while preserving local history.

The park honors Gabriela Silang, a leader who resisted Spanish colonial rule in the Ilocos region. Visitors experience how local history shapes the identity and meaning of this place for the community.

The park is located south of Vigan City and is suitable for hiking and mountain biking. Several paths and viewing points let you watch for wildlife and enjoy the landscape, so bring proper footwear and allow time to explore.

The area blends mountains directly with coastline, creating multiple distinct habitats in one place. This closeness between hills and sea allows visitors to experience very different landscapes and wildlife in a short time.
