Dinadiawan River Protected Landscape

Dinadiawan River Protected Landscape is a protected area in Dipaculao that contains forested mountains, waterfalls, and natural springs connected by the river system. The terrain includes dense woodlands at various elevations with multiple water features flowing toward the coast.

The area was first protected as a watershed forest reserve in 1992 and later designated as a Protected Landscape in 2000. This progression reflected growing recognition of its importance for water conservation.

Indigenous communities living here practice traditional fishing and farming methods along the riverbanks. Their daily routines shape how the landscape is used and cared for today.

Plan for wet and uneven terrain by bringing sturdy footwear and weather-appropriate clothing. Access to remote sections often requires a local guide for safe navigation.

Five species of tall hardwood trees grow here, including tanguile and mayapis, which are not commonly found together elsewhere. These trees form the backbone of the forest ecosystem and are worth observing during a visit.
