Apo rising above the whole Philippine archipelago... the country's highest mountain... it is a dormant volcano and the surrounding scenery is beautiful... home of the rare Philippine eagle and features numerous peaks and valleys... Mt. Apo Natural Park is a stunning outdoor recreation area with spectacular biodiversity and plenty of hiking trails for all to enjoy... Thanks Teija! (ヅ)
