Magapit Protected Landscape, Protected landscape in Cagayan Valley, Philippines

The Magapit Protected Landscape spans 3,403 hectares of forested limestone hills and grasslands between the municipalities of Lal-lo and Gattaran in northern Luzon.

President Manuel Roxas established this area as a game refuge and bird sanctuary in 1947, initially protecting 4,554 hectares of natural terrain.

The protected zone contains the Lal-lo and Gattaran Shell Middens, archaeological sites proposed for recognition as a World Heritage location.

Visitors can reach the protected area via the Santa Ana Road from Port San Vicente or through the Pan-Philippine Highway using the Magapit Suspension Bridge.

The landscape harbors dipterocarp trees including tanguile, white lauan, red lauan, and natural stands of narek across its limestone formations.
