Explore: Labuyo Twin Peaks




Situated at the heart of Mt. Nagcarlan-Mt. Mabilog-Mt. Atimla complex, Labuyo Twin Peaks has never been explored for mountaineering or hiking activity.  Its thick vegetation setting somehow hold back even local people to rove and check its hinterland.


Because of its opaque flora, the vicinity of LabuyoTwin Peaks  is home to numerous wildlife as monkeys and junglefowls.  Red junglefowls dwell  in the area. “Labuyo” as what locals call junglefowls are flighty and robust. Labuyos’ characteristics make it difficult for anyone to catch them.  The flanks of the twin peaks are their perfect dwelling place.



While densed vegetation fill its slopes, beautiful “talahib” grasses astoundingly populate the entire  peaks. The area is a perfect venue for overnight camping with a 360 degrees view of San Pablo 7 Lakes and brilliant backdrops of Mt. Atimla, Mt. Nagcarlan, Mt. Mabilog, Mt. San Cristobal and the majestic Mt. Banahaw.  


Standing about 549 masl, Labuyo Twin Peaks is a great sunset viewing place and superb cityscape watching site.  Its spotless greenery will truly satisfy any outdoorsman’s delight with a closer to nature feeling of sobriety and freedom.  Be the first ones to scale the area. Explore Labuyo twin peaks.
