Who could ever forget this natural phenomenon?

For a volcano that wreaked havoc in the early 90s, Mt. Pinatubo completely blew us out of our minds when we went there a few weeks ago. It is a breath taking sight!

A short drive from Manila (about an 2 hours to Capas Tarlac) and you’ll be able to see this natural wonder.

Going there is an adventure! We enjoyed the 4×4 drive admist the dunes and sandy riverbeds, going the to the base camp. From there, the trek (by foot) to the summit is not so difficult. A guide will assist in the trek. Supposedly, it will take you about 45 minutes to go up, but it took me and my friends an hour or so, but it was a good exercise. Going down is certainly much easier. Bring lots of water, energy food and a hat is a must.

Upon reaching the summit, you will see Pinatubo’s crater and its lake with its turquoise water that changes from time to time. You will marvel at the serenity and tranquility of the place… like it has never offered such devastation to so many people.

If you want a different adventure, go see Mt. Pinatubo!

I’ve read the 7 books in 2 months… you can’t put any of the books down. A good read!

Its a good place to chill out with friends but if you want peaceful and relaxing vacation, then find a more secluded area as the beach front is very commercialized already. So many shops and so many things happening at the same time. I guess, for some, this is still the place to spend summer vacation. If you don’t like a crowded beach, don’t plan your bora getaway during the lenten season. If you do, good luck!
