Mt. Apo (Philippines' Highest Point)

Mount Apo is a large stratovolcano on the island of Mindanao in the Philippines. At 2,956 MASL, it is the highest mountain in the country
and overlooks Davao City, a few kilometres to the northeast.
Mt. Apo towers over Southern Mindanao, covering the provinces of Davao del Sur and North Cotabato.

It possesses a formidable array of landscapes, from craggy rockscapes to virgin forests; from mossy swamps to volcanic structures.
Indeed, Mt. Apo possesses the widest spectrum of environments, and provides an experience for mountaineers that
lives up to their expectations from the country’s highest.

"Apo" means "master" or "grandfather". Apo is flat topped, with three peaks, and is capped by a 500m wide volcanic crater containing a small crater lake.
The date of its most recent eruption is unknown, and none are verified in historic times.

Mount Apo is one of the most popular climbing destinations in the Philippines, and the summit is easy to reach depends on which trail one takes.
It was first climbed on October 10, 1880 by a party led by Don Joaquin Rajal.
