The Minalungao National Park, declared as a Protected Area by virtue of the Republic Act No. 5100, is a known picnic area of the locals of Bario Papaya and Barrio Pias of General Tinio, Nueva Ecija. The National Park features a towering rock formation with an approximate height of 16 meters which serves as a wall traversed by the Sumacbao River. A habitat for many wildlife species, the rock formation includes nine (9) identified caves. Two popular caves are Balite Cave, which is recommended as a Class II cave, and Kwago Cave, which contains stalactites, stalagmites and cave curtains with bacon-like formations. Based on oral history, the Minalungao National Park was used as a hideout by the Katipuneros during the Spanish Colonial Period and by guerillas during World War II.
