[2] The park is the last remaining lowland rainforest in the province of Cavite and is well known for Mount Pico de Loro, a popular destination for mountaineers and hikers from Metro Manila.

[3] The Palay-Palay protected landscape area is situated in the mountain range that forms the border between the densely populated provinces of Cavite and Batangas in the Calabarzon region.

[3] A major attraction in the park is Mount Pico de Loro at the southern portion which was named for the towering formation at its summit which resembles a parrot's beak.

[6] It is also the highest mountain in Cavite at 688 metres (2,257 ft) [5] where hikers are rewarded with scenic views of Manila Bay and its islands, and South China Sea, as well as the coves and beaches of Nasugbu including Mounts Batulao and Carilao (Talamitam).

It is easily accessible via the new Ternate–Nasugbu mountain road completed in July 2013[9] which runs through the northwestern portion of the protected landscape from the western terminus of Governor's Drive in downtown Ternate to the seaside resorts of Nasugbu.
