Mount San Cristobal is considered the Devil's Mountain in Filipino folklore. It is the alter-ego of the Holy Mountain,[1] Mount Banahaw, and is part of Mounts Banahaw–San Cristobal Protected Landscape, covering 10,901 hectares (26,940 acres) of land.
The mountain is bordered by San Pablo, province of Laguna at its northern slope and Dolores, province of Quezon at its southern slope.
