About this spot

Named after its parrot-beak-shaped summit, Pico de Loro is a classic forest-and-ridge hike inside a protected landscape straddling Cavite and Batangas. The trail climbs through shaded forest before opening to views of Manila Bay and the West Philippine Sea, with the famous monolith beside the summit. It is a step up from Batulao and has visitor limits, so book or register ahead.
