Mt. Palay-palay National Park
Located in the Province of Cavite just south of Manila, Mt. Palay-palay is home to a good patch of lowland forests accessible through a short 2 hour drive from Manila. Many lowland Luzon endemics occur in the area, such as the Luzon Hornbill, Luzon Flameback, and Amethyst Brown-dove among other endemic species.

Mt. Makiling Forests

-
![Southern Sierra Madre]()
Southern Sierra Madre
The Marilaque Highway traverses excellent forested areas at around 650-750 masl at the southern portion of the Sierra Madre Mountain Range. The area became popular with the birdwatching community in the last 10 years, with almost 200 bird species being recorded there.

Palo Alto Lowland Forests
This area is located between Infanta and Metro Manila. About an hour drive from Infanta, the Subdivision sits around 200-300 masl on the lower slopes of southern Sierra Madre Mountain Range. It has been cleared for development into a residential area but there are still patches of second growth lowland forest in the perimeter hosting over 150 bird species.

La Mesa Ecopark
La Mesa Ecopark popularly known as LMEP, the park is located on the edge of a watershed forest reserve and reservoir called La Mesa Dam. Despite its small size, this small patch of lowland forest holds many surprises for the observant birder.
