The mountain
Mount Ugo (2, 150m - 7, 053 ft) sometimes called Mount Ugu, is a mountain located in Province of Nueva Vizcaya, Cagayan Valley, Philippines. The name “Ugo” was derived from an Ibaloi word “Ugo-an” (“to cut the neck”). This is probably because the mountain was an area where the indigenous used to killed the invading Spaniards by cutting their neck. Contrary to the brutal origin of its name, Mount Ugo can be perceived as a landmark that showcases the people’s culture and beliefs.
Mount Ugo is one of the picturesque mountains of this mountain range. It is one of the most known climbing destinations in the country. Ugo is said to be one of the higher mountains in the Cordillera. At the peak, it presents a spectacular view of other Cordillera mountains, including the 2 of the highest peaks in Luzon (Mt.
