What to remember when trekking to Mt. Pinatubo

by Unknown, in zambales

For those of you planning a trek to Mt. Pinatubo, here are some tips:

Do your research. Read some blogs and learn from the experience of people who have been there.
Travel light. Trekking to Mt Pinatubo can be pretty exhausting. Day trip is one hour bumpy 4x4 ride and an hour trekking. You don’t want much baggage when you trek, do you?
Eat heavy breakfast. Don’t worry you will burn it along the way.
Wear trek clothes, anything light and something that dries fast. And bring an extra shirt if you have an excessive sweating.
Wear appropriate footwear that can be used both for rocky road and little river crossings. No heels and weak step ins please.

Trek to Mt. Pinatubo Lake

by Unknown, in zambales

Mt. Pinatubo Lake, located near the boundaries of Pampanga, Tarlac and Zambales provinces in the Philippines, has been one of the tourist attraction in the country, not only because of its extreme adventure experience but also for the history behind its grandeur.

On 1991, Mt.Pinatubo erupted. 364 communities were affected. 2.1 million people, damaged. 73,000 houses, destroyed. 86,000 hectare farmland covered with “lahar” or volcanic ash. (Source)

Imagine how catastrophic it was! But then something was proven that the greater the devastation, the greater the restoration.

Mt. Pinatubo’s lahar laden lands of Crow Valley, is today the beautiful waters of Lake Pinatubo. The boulders and rock formations are just some of the breathtaking views one must look forward when trekking to Mt. Pinatubo.

Riding a 4x4 ride was totally AWESOME especially with these folks

by van, in palawan

Everyone of us had a bucket list to share. Mine was always the joy of travelling. Maybe we are on the same boat. And so I wrote this for the thrill of adventure. This year, I was able to cross out one of my list. And that is, my desire to go to Palawan. Yes, it happened early this year and that was, so far, the best ever vacation we’ve ever had. Can’t really get rid of Palawan… Smile

In my search for places to where would I be next, I bumped into this article of World’s Best (Top Ten) Awards 2013. And to my amazement, Palawan ranked 1st on the list with the score of 95.04 ,.yey!! cheers to that

So allow me to share with you some of my memories of Palawan…Hoping the photos here can convince you why travellers around the world chose Palawan.
