The park is situated north of the narrowest section of Luzon in Quezon province, located about 164 km (102 mi) southeast of Metro Manila.

[3] Quezon Protected Landscape is situated in the southern Sierra Madre mountain range on Luzon island.

Some of the species in the park are the monitor lizard, monkey, deer, wild pig, parrot, dove, pigeon, jungle fowl (manok labuyo), yellow bittern, cinnamon bittern, buff-banded rail, barred rail, white-browed crake, marsh sandpiper, long-toed stint, Swinhoe's snipe, striated grassbird, rufous hornbill, Luzon hornbill, pink-bellied imperial pigeon, guaiabero, colasisi, blackish cuckooshrike, flaming sunbird and flowerpecker.

[1] In April 2010, the Northern Sierra Madre Forest monitor lizard Varanus bitatawa (local name: butikaw) was discovered by the western world.

Also called Mount Pinagbanderahan, literally meaning "where the flag was hoisted", the mountain is easily accessible via stairway, which takes about an hour or so to climb.

The summit is a vantage point for viewing nearby mountains like Mount Banahaw, the island provinces of Marinduque or Mindoro and the major towns of Quezon.

The road that cuts through the park includes a zigzag section (also known to the locals as "EME”, due to mispronounced name of Imee Marcos which was written on the side of the mountain.)
