Mount Apo
Elevation: 2,954 metres (9,691 feet)
Latitude: 6° 59′ N
Longitude: 125° 16′ E
Location: Mindanao, Philippines
Range: Apo Range
First ascent: 1880 by Don Joaquin Rajal and party
Easiest route: hike


Mount Apo is the highest mountain in the Philippines and overlooks Davao City, a few kilometres to the northeast.


Mt. Apo was first climbed on October 10, 1880 by a party led by Don Joaquin Rajal.


Mount Apo is one of the most popular climbing destinations in the country. The summit is very easy to reach, unlike other mountains such as Mount Halcon and Mount Banahaw. On May 9, 1936, Mount Apo was declared a national park by President Manuel L. Quezon. The mountain is home to over 270 bird species, with more than a hundred that are endemic.
