Quezon National Forest Park

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Quezon National Forest Park is situated midway between the towns of Pagbilao, Padre Burgos and Atimonan, in the Province of Quezon. It is situated right at the western end of the isthmus of Luzon. The Tourism highway, known locally as the "Old Zigzag Road", passes through its middle. It has many blind corners and hairpin turns, which are monitored by volunteer traffic directors. Buses and large trucks are not allowed, partially because of the steep grades. (They take the "New Zigzag Road", part of the Maharlika National Highway, between western Atimonan and eastern Pagbilao.) Hundreds of flora and fauna species have been discovered here. This was where the Filipinos declared revolution against the Japanese on World War II, on Mount Mirador, village of Pinagbanderahan.
