Bucket List : Mt. Pinatubo's Crater

[ x ] Walk to the crater of a volcano - Done!

Since I will  be in the Phils. for 5 days, I bought a coupon from Ensogo for Mt. Pinatubo along with 4 of my friends. The coupon costs 998 Php for the tour.

Other fees:
Bus from Cubao to Capas, Tarlac: 172 Pesos (One way) x 2
Transfer from Capas to Mt. Pinatubo base: 300 Pesos
Government fee for Mt. Pinatubo: 300 Pesos
Lunch: Bring your own

Total: 1942 Pesos

If you are commuting to Capas, take Dagupan Bus in Cubao kasi they have trips every hour after 12AM to Capas.  When you reach Capas, a 4x4 jeep will take you to the base of Pinatubo. And from here, you would need to hike.

What I wore:  White shirt, shorts and rubber shoes.

Hindi advisable ang rubber shoes kasi may daraanan kayong limpak limpak na tubig at bato. It is better to wear something Crocs-like so you can remove the small stones easily. To give you a better picture of what to expect:




At the crater, the view is breathtaking. Lahat ng pagod namin paakyat, nawala.

The path to the top is usually wet, so I suggest wear sandals para hindi mabasa yung shoes niyo. I wore a pair of rubber shoes kasi that's what I brought back to Ph.

Hindi lang siya matubig kundi mabato din.

Goodbye pinatubo crater! See you again soon!
