Mount Matutum

Mount Matutum is a destination in Tupi / Polomolok / other municipalities, South Cotabato, in the Philippines. It is a prominent volcano and protected mountain landscape. Matutum’s volcanic cone rises above the agricultural landscape near Tupi and Polomolok. Forest habitat and the mountain’s visual prominence are central to its appeal, but a climb involves conservation and community arrangements that are separate from photographing the mountain from farms or roadside viewpoints. The setting rewards an interest in terrain, forest habitats and the relationship between local communities and the uplands. A distant viewpoint and an actual climb are different experiences, so choose the route before arranging transport. Wear footwear suitable for the terrain, carry drinking water, and ask the managing community about guide requirements, permitted paths and conservation rules. Before travelling to Tupi, confirm current access, transport and any applicable charges with the responsible local office or operator.
