At the foothills of the western side of the Balagbag Mountain Range lies a landscape that surprises many who stumble upon it—Haynon Hills, fondly called the “Chocolate Hills of Haynon.” These rolling, grassy slopes shift with the seasons: brown and sun-kissed in the summer months when the grasslands dry out, then lush and green once the rains return. The result is a sweeping terrain of undulating hills in varying shapes and heights, a peaceful pastureland that feels both wild and welcoming.
Accessible through a barangay road just before the Malbog Sulfur Springs in Buenavista, Haynon Hills has become a favorite destination for hikers, mountain bikers, and young adventurers. Its natural slopes offer an exciting ride for bikers who crave both challenge and scenery. As you climb higher, adrenaline meets awe—the panoramic view unfolds into a breathtaking tableau of vast rolling hills, grazing cattle, and the majestic silhouette of Mt. Malindig rising in the distance.
Reaching the hilltops feels like unlocking one of Marinduque’s quiet treasures: a serene, windswept escape where the land seems to ripple toward the horizon. For those seeking fresh air, gentle adventure, and picture-perfect views, Haynon Hills is a journey well worth taking.
