Mount Pinatubo

Mount Pinatubo is an active stratovolcano in the Cabusilan Mountains on the island of Luzon, near the tri-point of the Philippine provinces of Zambales, Tarlac, and Pampanga. Before the volcanic activities of 1991, its eruptive history was unknown to most people. It was heavily eroded, inconspicuous and obscured from view. It was covered with dense forest which supported a population of several thousand indigenous people, the Aetas, who fled to the mountains during the Spanish conquest of the Philippines.

Hiking Mt Pinatubo was long ago on my bucket list - so glad it finally happened. After a thrilling Jeep ride to the starting point of the trail, a guide led us on our 1.5-2 hrs each way. The trail wasn't difficult nor ardous to hike. The views on top and lakeside of the crater, as well as the hike itself, are more than rewarding for everything. Not-so-fun fact the other morning: Our friendly host and owner of Casa Hermogina informed us, that last night the Taal Volcano erupted - the very day 1 year after we hiked there.

Nagsasa Cove

Reviewed By jeremiejaner - Quezon City, Philippines

The place is heavenly ugh! sobrang nakakarelax, wala kang iniisip na papers, emails, at utos from your B to do. You just need to do is get a glass of beer, chitchat with your friends while waiting for the sunset. The place where my friend get the package tour was in the camp kawayan, we are total of 14, including the environmental fee, insurance fee, overnight fee, cottage fee, (6) tent free, with Campones Island and Kamara Island Tour for 2 days 1 night. We also rent a van medyo napamahal so kung may car kayo pwede naman iwan sa Pundaquit pwede ko ibigay contact person ko doon.

Ditumabo Mother Falls

Reviewed By catrbmd

I went there yesterday, July 15, 2018. As a family, we wanted to relax so we took a quick overnight trip to Baler. We were not supposed to visit Ditumabo Mother Falls because of the hike but we were curious because of the reviews. Initially, we felt hesitant to try it but when our guide Michael, who was caring and patient, told us that we can do it and we need not rush, then, we decided to give it a try. Along the way, you will be amazed at the lush green surroundings; the rushing cool water is very relaxing. Though it was a tiring walk, when you get to see Mother Falls, then, you will say, it was all worth it. My daughter and I are on the heavy side and my husband does not like walking but this is a trip worth the effort. It was nothing for my son who was physically fit. The suspense before you see Mother falls even made the journey exciting. Going back was just half or 1/3 of going there. The trek is not too high but get ready to get wet along the way. Wear comfortable footwear - flip-flops, slippers or slip ons that can get wet. Wear something that can get wet also so that you won't have to change when you get there. There are no dressing areas when you get to the falls. There is a dressing area though when you get back. There is ample parking space so just leave your things inside the car and change after the trek. Their bathrooms/comfort rooms are well maintained since water is not a problem in Aurora. Bring water and food with you because there are no stores in the falls but there are stores before the start of the trek. Take a dip in the very cold water of the falls and try to get as close to the falls as you can because the water is not deep. It is very refreshing. The trip is not complete without a swim in the VERY clean water of the falls. There is also a crevice between the rocks where we were able to get real mineral water. Truly, you will appreciate God because of the beauty of Ditumabo Falls and the kindness of the locals in this part of Aurora.

Mount Arayat

Reviewed By 412crist

My and my son's first major climb. The Mt. Arayat is a no joke to climb. In my experience, the backbreaking part is the lateral trail through the boulders and that you will hold onto the big roots of trees. That part, I was far from our guide and companions that if I have to wait on them will consume my energy much. I am puzzled where to place my hands and feet as I advanced my steps. It's like torturing my body and mind. Glad, I didn't panic! Also, I was thinking about the chance of surviving if the heavy rain falls. Yes, it rained that day but with fine drops falling. Lucky day! What else to expect if you're planning to trail the Pinnacle Peak and the South Peak? There is a monkey trail, 90 degrees trail,  9 hours of trekking, the view from the top, the city lights if you are going to ascend the mountain at the crack of dawn, the towering Balite and Kamagong trees and fresh air.
