Mt. Pinatubo

A few hours of sleep won't hinder us from being so excited to hike our destination, that is Mt. Pinatubo. It is situated in the tripoint of Pampanga, Zambales, and Tarlac. The most common jump off point is in Capas Tarlac. It takes about 1 hour and 30 minutes travel time from our house to Sta. Juliana. 

We were rushing to our destination because the call time is at 4:30 am, sadly we got there by 5. Pero abot padin. 

Our ATV ride took about 1 hour to the destination and another stretch of 1 hour and 30 minutes from the hike to the crater. It was so humid and a very sandy ride and hike.  But trust me, when you arrive at the crater, everything feels so majestic. You'll be at awe how something that got destroyed be so beautiful. 

Expenses for Mt. Pinatubo is a bit expensive than the other mountains we conquered. Maybe because you really need to ride the ATV to go there and that already cost 3000php for a group of 5. Luckily our jeep was open so we got a chance to stand while it was in transit. The total cost per head was 1300php.  Less travel expenses and our food. We got our Package without Transfer from Manila, From Ms. Sonia Bognot. Heres her number if you wish to avail the package as well, 0918 602 1943


This is the view of the Crater! It just feels so surreal. Majestic. I was at awe looking at this from the viewing deck. Worth the travel and the hike!

Everything was so picturesque.  😌

Syempre di kame papahuli sa couple pic. 😂😂✌🏻️




But in all honesty, it feels like we were at a dessert walking here. But very enjoyable. I think it boils down to the people you are with. May behind the scenes pa yan na pangyayare, but I won't disclose it here. But this is one of the most exhilarating hikes I've had so far. Cheers to many more.
