Quezon Protected Landscape, Protected landscape in Quezon Province, Philippines.

The protected area spans 938 hectares across three municipalities, featuring lowland rainforest, karst formations, waterfalls, and an extensive network of caves.

Established as a national park in 1934 with 535 hectares, the area expanded to 983 hectares in 1940 before being reclassified as protected landscape in 2003.

Mount Mirador served as a significant location for raising flags during different periods of Philippine history, from the revolution through independence in 1946.

The Pan-Philippine Highway crosses through the park, with a zigzag road section designed specifically for light vehicles due to sharp turns.

Scientists discovered the Northern Sierra Madre Forest monitor lizard Varanus bitatawa in this park during 2010, though local communities knew of its existence.
