Initao–Libertad Protected Landscape and Seascape, Protected coastal and marine area in Misamis Oriental, Philippines.

The Initao-Libertad Protected Landscape spans 1,300 hectares of limestone forests, coral reefs, cliffs, and sandy beaches along Iligan Bay.

The Philippine government established this protected landscape in 2002 to preserve the old-growth forests and marine ecosystems of western Misamis Oriental.

Local fishing communities maintain traditional practices within designated zones while contributing to conservation efforts throughout the protected waters.

Visitors can access four explored caves, trek through forest trails, or enjoy the facilities at Lasang Secret Adventure Park with its treetop boardwalk.

The landscape harbors century-old trees including molave and teak, while providing shelter for Philippine megapodes and tarsiers in their natural habitat.
