Mimbilisan Protected Landscape
Geography
The Mimbilisan Protected Landscape encompasses an area of 66 hectares (160 acres) in the rural villages of Bugdang in Talisayan and Mapua in Balingoan. It lies in the northern foothills of the Mount Balatukan Range, another declared protected area classified as a natural park which forms the backbone of the Misamis Peninsula. Mount Balatukan contains the headwaters of several rivers and streams that drain the surrounding coastal municipalities from Balingasag to Gingoog and empty into the Bohol Sea. The Talisayan River borders the Mimbilisan park to the east and the Mindocdocan River to the west. It is located 6.2 kilometres (3.9 mi) south of the Talisayan municipal proper and some 27 kilometres (17 mi) northwest of Gingoog. It is accessible via the Mapua Road in Balingoan and the Butuan–Cagayan de Oro–Iligan Road from the region's capital and largest city Cagayan de Oro located some 86 kilometres (53 mi) southeast.
