The 4x4 ride has began. The scenery was fascinating , you will see endless plain of volcanic sand, volcanic formations, streams, and cliffs made of lahar. It was an action-packed adventure, requires patience and endurance at bawal ang tutulog tulog sa loob or else baka kung saan ka pulutin.

4x4 Adventure straight to the Jump Off site

The Crow Valley Canyon Straight To The Crater.
Me and April, Holding hands kc pipicturan... pero pag walang picture, kanya kanya ng lakad! hirap kaya makipagholding hands pag ganyan ang trail at super init pa hahahaha!

 After two hours or more na nakakapagod na paglalakad, we reach the crater and it was magnificent view. Ang ganda pala sa personal kesa sa mga pictures in the internet.

Meeting the Majestic Crater for the First Time and Took our Exhaustion Away, a Great Reward for Us indeed!

were just lucky that the weather that day was great - that's why we got good photos.

i never thought I’d be in this damned crater of the volcano, 21 years way back where it explode and i thought it was the end of the world. Its just hard to imagine a view that majestic can also be so destructive at the same time. Today it was a tourist destination and several tour groups are organize weekly.

Climb Buddies! \m/
PINATUBO CRATER is the BEST and REMARKABLE! it's like a Painting pag nasa malayo ka... Iisa lang daw ang tanawin na ganito sa pinas. Visit Pinatubo while it last because once it erupted again. it will never be the same.

Me, April Joy, and the whole Gang completed the trip and without any injuries.
