As We arrived at the place, there are few houses owned by Native people and it builts using this long Round lumbers as a foundation of the structures. Some of thw houses built near at the big trees and the floors are higher so wild animals cannot come inside of the structure. It is made of light materials like Bamboo pieces, Knetted coconut leaves as rooftop. This houses are built very unique owned by Native people who lives the place long time ago.
There are lots of wild plants and big trees can be seen and found here, and most of it are Molave, Mahogany, Acacia, Germilina and Ipil Trees. It keeps the place very cool and relaxing because of the shady areas brought by this big and wide tree plants. The Local Governmen was already preserved this trees so it will remain the wonderful views of the mountain. There are lots of wild animals like birds, snakes and even wild cats lives in the place.
