The Old Zigzag Road acts as a gateway between Northern Quezon and the South of Philippines. It is one of the most dangerous roads of the country. Most of the drivers even fear traveling by this path. It can be an adventure for some, but it does carry elements of risk.

The locals here call this road, "Bitukan Manok." The reason behind this name is compelling, as locals believe that this road has a similar structure to chicken's intestine. The name itself indicates how dangerous the path is, assuming someone understands Filipino.
The road construction was conducted in an era of former President Ferdinand Marcos in 1969. The zigzag road is the well-known path within Quezon National Park.
