Alab Petroglyphs

The Alab Petroglyphs are ancient rock engravings located in Barangay Alab Oriente, Bontoc, Mountain Province, Philippines. The carvings are etched on large boulders and rock surfaces along the hillside near the Chico River. Believed to be prehistoric, the site is notable for its geometric and anthropomorphic figures and is considered an important archaeological and cultural heritage site of the Cordillera region.

Visitors can expect an outdoor riverside and hillside setting with large boulders bearing faint carved figures and patterns. The site is reached by a short walk or hike from the barangay road. There are no built structures; the experience is focused on viewing the engravings up close with a local guide who explains the carvings and their context. Surroundings include river views, rice fields, and mountain scenery.
