Legend has it that Maria Makiling, a mythical goddess in Filipino culture, lives in the form of this mountain. Hence the slopes that resemble a woman reclining. This beautiful mountain is actually an inactive volcano that rises over 1000 meters above sea level, giving life to more than 2000 different species of plants. Go visit their botanic gardens, see the University of the Philippines Los Banos Museum of Natural History, or bike/hike uphill along the lush pathways of the mountain.
