Mounts Iglit–Baco National Park

The protected area spans 106,656 hectares across south-central Mindoro, featuring slopes, river gorges, mountains, and plateaus with Mount Baco reaching 2,488 meters elevation.

The Philippine government established Mounts Iglit-Baco National Park in November 1970 through Republic Act 6148, initially protecting 75,445 hectares around Mount Iglit and Mount Baco.

The park territory includes the ancestral lands of six ethnic groups, with Mangyan communities maintaining traditional farming practices and spiritual connections to the environment.

The park office accepts visitor inquiries through email at mibnppao.occmin04@gmail.com, with access routes available through multiple municipalities in Occidental and Oriental Mindoro.

This protected area contains the largest remaining population of tamaraw, a critically endangered buffalo species found only in the Philippines.
