Amro River Protected Landscape

The Amro River Protected Landscape is a forested reserve in northern Aurora province covering approximately 6,500 hectares. The terrain rises from river valleys through forested slopes with varied elevation and natural water systems.

The area was established as a forest reserve in 1990 and later reclassified as a protected landscape in 2000. These designations reflected growing recognition of the region's environmental importance.

The landscape serves nearby communities as a water source for farming and daily life. Local residents depend on the river system for their livelihoods and continue traditional practices tied to this natural space.

The protected area extends from mountain ranges to coastal foothills with varying access depending on your route. Visitors should prepare for changing conditions and check with local guides since some sections are remote.

The forest contains native hardwood species such as tanguile, mayapis, and several lauan varieties that grow naturally in the mountain forests. These tree types play an important role in the region's forest composition.
