We're having a hiking culture exchange to (probably) the most beautiful disaster ever! Mt. Pinatubo's eruption last 1991 is the 2nd most violent and destructive in the 20th century but the landscapes that were formed after are stunningly breathtaking. Its crater contains the deepest lake in the Philippines. We aim to spend a memorable Christmas by sharing this trail with locals, expats and foreign tourists!
LIMITED TO 10 PARTICIPANTS ONLY
ESTIMATE EXPENSES: Php 2,300
RERMINDERS:
-Pack (or buy) breakfast, lunch and trail food. Expect a late lunch at around 1:30 PM during the trip.
-Bring sun protection, change of clothes
-Wear sturdy and water-resistant shoes. You will be walking across streams and wet patches. Hiking time is 4 hours roundtrip
-Bring at least 3 liters of water
PAYMENT: If we reach 10 pax, you will have to pay a deposit of 1000 by Dec 22 to reserve the van. If not, I will just collect on Dec 25.
