Characterized by a unique soil condition giving birth to a wide expanse of pygmy forest, Mount Hamiguitan is cited by the UNESCO World Heritage Committee for exemplifying “nature’s bid to survive in adverse conditions.” A pygmy forest is an uncommon environment phenomenon that features miniature vegetation such as low standing trees, and small species of fauna like lizards and rodents. Standing 1,620 meters, this mountain is home to a very diverse set of wildlife species. Among the many endemic species of flora and fauna, a type of pitcher plant — the Nepenthes peltata — is definitely a must-see.
