Mounts Iglit-Baco Natural Park

Mounts Iglit-Baco Natural Park is a 75,445-hectare protected area in central Mindoro Island, primarily within Sablayan, Occidental Mindoro, extending into Oriental Mindoro. Established as a national park in 1969 and reclassified as a natural park, it encompasses Mounts Iglit and Baco. It is the core habitat of the critically endangered Tamaraw, an endemic dwarf buffalo, and is recognized as an ASEAN Heritage Park and UNESCO World Heritage Tentative List site.

Visitors can expect a rugged, mountainous landscape of forested slopes, grasslands, and river valleys centered on Mount Iglit and Mount Baco. The park is largely wilderness with limited developed infrastructure. Access is through ranger stations and with local guides. Visitors may see diverse flora and fauna, including the Tamaraw in its natural habitat, birdlife, and views of open grasslands and forest. Encounters with Mangyan communities living in and around the park may occur on guided visits.
