Mt. Makiling feels completely different from Luzon's exposed ridge hikes. Begin at the mapped Makiling trail start, enter the rainforest environment and continue through Makiling Rainforest Park toward Peak 2. The forest itself is the main character here: humid, green, enclosed and full of changing vegetation as the trail climbs.
