Mounts Banahaw–San Cristobal Protected Landscape, Protected landscape with two volcanoes in Calabarzon, Philippines

The national park spans 10,900 hectares across southern Laguna and northern Quezon, featuring Mount Banahaw and Mount San Cristobal at elevations of 2,000 and 1,470 meters respectively.

The area received its initial protection status in 1921 as Mount Banahao Forest Reserve, covering 12,858 hectares dedicated to forestry and water resource conservation.

Mount Banahaw holds religious significance for local communities while Mount San Cristobal, known as Devil's Mountain, represents an opposing spiritual force.

Eight major rivers originate from this protected area, providing essential water resources for irrigation and consumption to neighboring communities throughout Calabarzon.

The landscape contains various endemic species including the Philippine warty pig, Luzon fruit bat, and the rare plant Aglaia banahaensis found exclusively in this region.
