Having an elevation of 9,692 ft and overlooking Davao City, Mt. Apo is the tallest mountain in the
country. A dormant stratovolcano, this giant creation towers over Southern
Mindanao, covering the provinces of Davao del Sur and North Cotabato.
Literally translated as ‘grandfather of all mountains’,
Mount Apo, Davao City is flat- topped and has 3 peaks capped by a 500m wide
volcanic crater. It contains a small crater lake, Lake Venado, which is about
19 kilometers up its slopes. The mountain’s highest peak appears to be white,
due to a crust of sulphur released in the mountain’s emissions.
Declared as a National Park in 1936, Mt. Apo has since then
become a popular tourist place for visitors – locals and tourists alike
