| Mt. Matutum in South Cotabato |
Standing at a towering height of 2,286 meters above sea level, Mt. Matutum is a dormant symmetrical stratovolcano located in South Cotabato, northwest of Sarangani Bay and 30 kilometers north-northwest of General Santos City. Mt. Matutum is South Cotabato's most imposing landmark. It has a well-preserved summit cone and a vegetated 120 meters deep summit crater and has become a favorite hiking destination.
Mt. Matutum is also home to the national bird the Philippine Eagle and the renowned Philippine Tarsier - the world's smallest primate. At the base of Mt. Matutum is the vast pineapple plantations of Dolefil (Dole Philippines, Inc.) which spans more than 12,000 hectares.
I took this photo at the Tupi Fruit Park just along the National Highway in Municipality of Tupi.
