Nueva Vizcaya is a landlocked province in Region II (Cagayan Valley) known for its majestic mountain ranges, sacred cultural lands, limestone caves, and stunning waterfalls. Called the “Watershed of the North”, the province is surrounded by the Sierra Madre, Cordillera, and Caraballo mountains—giving it a cool climate and scenic landscapes ideal for nature lovers.
The summit of Mt. Ugo, straddling the provinces of Benguet and Nueva Vizcaya, offers a breathtaking reward to trekkers with its sweeping views of the Cordillera mountain range.

The peaceful atmosphere, paired with the golden sunrise or misty afternoons, makes it a favorite for hikers seeking both adventure and serenity. Along the trail, scenic villages and rice terraces enhance the cultural and natural experience. Mt. Ugo's summit is a perfect blend of rugged beauty and calm mountain charm.
