Mt. Pinatubo, Philippines



welcome to Mt. Pinatubo, Philippines


this is one of the most beautiful crater I've seen in my life so far... 


because this is the only crater that you can enjoy swimming 
either on the hot or cold water depending which side of the lake you want to...


we were given instruction to meet in Quezon Avenue 
around 4 am for our van transportation... 
travel time takes at least 1 hour and a half to Tarlac...



It was a full morning in a bumpy big car that takes almost an hour ride... 
and a three hour walk... in a dense... hot and super hot day... 


the last eruption of this volcano ruined thousands of life and a lot of towns nearby
but it also created wonderful coves in the northern part of the country...


with my castaway friends along the road! way to go...
by the way... don't you ever dare to forget a ton of water on this trek!


and here we are! tired... but happy... 
we had our own packed lunch on this majestic view...


this place is a sure enchantment...
how could something so beautiful destroys everything?!


but I guess everything will be made perfect in time...


some store along the way... coke in can for 70.00 php?!
outrageous!!

total expenses: 2,000.00 php

I'm not a mountaineer... yet
but one of my dear girlfriend invited me 
together with her cousins on this day trek...
They registered online for travel package 
for 1, 500 php per person... 
It includes van transfer from Manila to Tarlac and back,  
big car and a tour guide... 
It was a packed lunch also..
