tired yet exciting Saturday @ Mt. Pinatubo

2.16.13

This is my first adventure for 2013,and I hope more adventures to come...

It is started with the promo that I saw at Metrodeal.com, a package tour amounting 850.00 pesos. But it is only covered the riding of 4*4 and tour coordinator. Upon arriving there, we still need to pay for the tour guide-100 pesos and 300 each for conservation fee. We dont know if we really save for this tour.

The tour was organized by Nature trip travel and tours, we also avail there transpo package which is 700 pesos for round trip, quezon ave-tarlac-quezon ave. They made our I.T too but it didnt follow because we arrive late and live Pinatubo earlier than expected. They made us hurry..hmmp

Total cost is 850+700+300+100 = 1,950.00 (except food and transpo from our house to Quezon ave.)

When I research,they said that there is a 2 way going to the crater,the old and new way, but the tour guide said theres no old way anymore, only the new way, but to enjoy the adventure, we can choose if we will ride or walk for 2 hours going to the trekking point, 7meters walk, even it is hot,we decided to walk to make a tour more enjoyable. Our 4*4 just following us and asking if we will continue to walk or we would like to ride na...since adventurer ang peg namin, we choose to walk till we rich the crater..hahaha

 the 4*4 truck
first, the 4*4 ride will pass here before we reach the jump off point,where we can start to walk
 the beautiful highway going to crater, dust is everywhere, with free powder for your whole body hahaha, as per my officemate,she said Amazing hahaha
 

 first stop just to take picture,actually, aetas are everywhere there, and some tourist are getting pictures with aetas, me, I dont like
 
 this is how the 4*4 will pass and conquer, buti nalang matitibay ang gulong at makina nila.
 
 another formation, i saw this while riding at 4*4 and its amazing formation,picture is a little blured coz we are moving.
 
we will start the trek here,..look like desert diba? ang initttt, no trees


 you will pass many like this
 
This is really the start of the trek to crater, but since we are adventurer, we choose to walk from the start going here hahaha
 
my tired face
 
10 minutes daw..but its not true hehehe
 
yes,at last we arrive, going up here is not easy because theres a stair before you reach this, and going up with the stairs is tiring noh..

 another thing, before you go down to the crater, you need to walk to a 200 steps, as per kuya tour guide hehehe...but really, we really cannot go up anymore, our legs are tired
 going down
 
the  crater of Mt. Pinatubo, that brought disaster before but now, it is one of the beautiful tourist spot in the philippines


Yes, we did it..
One thing, when I research if what other activities can we do to crater, they said there is a boating and you can explore the crater, but when we arrive there, no boating anymore, tour guid said that boating and swimming is not allowed anymore, so all you will do is to take pictures,enjoy the view,and nothing..that's why you can go back earlier than expected when you visit the Mt. Pinatubo.So its better to trek and walk 2hrs going to the crater to be able to enjoy the nature.

Overall, we enjoy our adventure, the 4*4 ride, the place,the amazing formation of rocks and sands,the dust that make us white hahaha and a beautiful view of the crater..Tired yet we enjoy. Thank you for the beautiful creation of God.

Watch out for my next adventure..The flower festival of Baguio.

Thank you :)
