[4K] NAGBUKEL NATURE PARK Aerial Video | Diffun, Quirino Province | OD Adventures

Another unique tourist attraction in Diffun is the Nagbukel Nature Park located in Barangay Luttuad. This is a 16-hectare site whose outstanding landmark and central attraction is a 300-meter high limestone mountain that is shaped like a helmet, a characteristic that gave it and the park around it their name. “Nagbukel” is the Ilocano word for “round.” Rising near the Ganano River, the mountain is thickly covered by trees. Its summit, which can be reached by trekking through trails, some of which are concrete pathways, provides a magnificent panoramic view of the river and the lush surroundings. The park, which also boasts of a cave, is another ideal destination for communing with nature. Nagbukel was developed by Lamplighters, a non-profit Christian organization that promotes world peace and reforestation, among others, to whom the mountain was donated by the original owner. The Lamplighters planted trees on the site and on the mountain to further thicken its forest cover and built the pathways that lead to its summit. An ownership issue, however, led to the Lamplighters’ departure, which, in turn, resulted in the deterioration of the place. Fortunately, under the care of Diffun’s municipal government which gained possession of the site through a memorandum of agreement with the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) that mandates it to protect, conserve and manage the park, Nagbukel is now being redeveloped and brought back to its former glory in yet another Quirinian initiative to preserve and protect the environment.
