Safety in Lanao del Sur
The security picture here is more variable than in Cotabato City or Tawi-Tawi, and it moves. Marawi itself is visited, but travel is best arranged through local contacts, the city tourism office, or MSU, and some outlying municipalities are best left off an itinerary without current local advice. This is the area where asking on the ground matters most, and where a plan made from a distance is least reliable.
Rungkunan National Park covers the mountainous eastern part of Lanao del Sur in Ditsaan-Ramain and Tagoloan II, about 10 km east-south-east of Marawi. It lies near the Lake Lanao and Agus River watershed and is known for its sparkling stream, virgin forest and invigorating climate.
It was declared a national park in 1965 by Republic Act No. 4190.
