Pinatubo Trek

This is one trp I have been wanting to go to since the first time I heard about it. The 4 hour trip to Tarlac and another 2 hour trip to the crater lake were all worth the sight.

These pictures were from the 1 hour 4x4 rough and dusty ride. You will definitely need 1 (or 2) bottle of the best conditioner there is after this ride. A dust mask is also recommended.





Here's the 1 hour easy trek to the crater. It was not tiring at all. All you need is a bottle of sunblock and a bottle of water.





Here is the crater lake, which apparently was only created after the 1990 eruption. Who knew that such a disaster that left a number of people homeless would leave a surreal reminder that would make people breathless.




You could not help but take a swim in the cold water or take a boat ride around the lake to another spot in the crater where there is a hot spring. Unfortunately, we did not get to book the boat, which should be processed back at the office.






This was taken on our way back to the office where we cleaned-up.



The trek package was worth 1500 PHP and it included:
- 4x4 ride, capacity of 4 to 5 passengers (excluding the driver and the tour guide)
- services of a local guide
- skyway fee
- conservation fee
- lunch
- use of locker and shower facilities
