A popular birdwatching site and a biodiversity hotspot containing most of the remaining closed-canopy forests in Central Luzon. The site also covers parts of the city of San Jose del Monte, and the towns of Norzagaray, Angat, San Rafael, and San Miguel, as well as parts of Rizal, Quezon, Aurora and Nueva Ecija provinces.
A sprawling national park that also covers parts of the neighboring towns of San Miguel and San Ildefonso. Famous as the site of the Biak-na-Bato Republic, a proto-state founded by Filipino separatists during the Philippine Revolution against Spain in 1897, it also contains caves, rivers and forested highlands of the Sierra Madre that belie the misconception of Bulacan as a largely flat province.
