The Mountain
Provinces, composed of Benguet, Bontoc, Ifugao, Kalinga and Apayao, are called such because of their
majestic, mountain ranges that are not present in the plains of the lowlands.
Some portions of Kalinga and Apayao are flatlands and some portions
are composed of verdant mountains.
The highest peak is found in Benguet Province, and there were reports of hail rains during wet
seasons. Understandably, it is the coldest part of the country.
The flora and fauna are also incredible in these
mountains. If a botanist would visit them, he would presumably find exotic
plants.
The Kalinga Mountains
are known to grow a variety of edible wild fruits. Wild berries, guavas, and
bananas abound that one cannot go hungry. Waterfalls, fresh spring waters are
also common occurrences.
Here are some pictures of the mountain ranges of the
Mountain Provinces.
