Mt. Pinatubo Reopening Climb!


We are pleased to announce that Mt. Pinatubo is now open for trekking once again, after 3 months of closure. Although the Municipality of Capas has increased their fees for visitors, they have also improved the trail and the Skyway 4x4 route is once again passable after months of rains and storms.

In celebration of this reopening, A
Mt. Pinatubo Reopening Climb will be held on December 12, 2009. The package costs P2,200/person inclusive of roundtrip transportation Manila-Capas-Manila, 4x4 ride using the Skyway trail (whenever available), guides, entrance fee, and mineral water. (See itinerary and details on previous post)
