Mt Pinatubo tour
Mt. Pinatubo is one of the active volcanoes in the Philippines. Its latest eruption last June 1991 is considered the 2nd most intense eruption of the 20th century.
Nowadays, Mt. Pinatubo offers a scenic sight of what the eruption did couple of years ago. After the moderate dis-ease of getting there, the view is all worth it.
The Mt Pinatubo tour begins with a rugged ride by means of a 4-wheel-drive jeep. This ride offers a fusion of landscapes for adventurous travelers -- barren land which can be sandy, rocky, dusty, bumpy, shaky, and watery all at the same time. The final stop at the volcano summit offers a majestic vista of the crater-lake.

Mt Pinatubo is more of a tourist spot than a mountaineering destination.
From regular Philippine mountains, instead of forests you have stretches of sand; and instead of the blue-green mountains, you have a white-gray-brown, almost Alpine, formations.
