FAQ
Is Mt Pinatubo trail difficult?
Really easy. This is one of the hikes that even beginners will be able to complete. At first you will have to adjust though, since the terrain is quite different from what you are used to walk on, it is mostly made of ashes (a bit similar to walking in the desert) with a lot of river crossing. If you have the right gears things should be easy.
Can I see the trail map?
How about kids and senior citizens?
Children must be at least 6 years old to be accommodated. Senior citizens are required to present a medical clearance or a travel insurance, which you can purchase from us as an add-on. We have seen 70-year old folks on the trail so don't let your senior years stop you.
Is it true this hike is not recommended during rainy season
Yes and for a good reason. The terrain is made of ashes (called Lahar) so plan you trip during the good months, basically end of October to end of May.
Are there any requirements for foreigners?
The Capas base camp being located inside a military base you need to secure in advance a clearance but don't worry we will help you secure it at no extra charge. Do not forget to bring your passport on the day of the tour.
Do we have to start early?
Yes, as there is a cut-off at the base camp, meaning if you arrive late you won't be allowed to go on the trail. Reason? Base camp is located inside a military camp and weather in the Philippines usually is at its best in the morning. We suggest you leave Manila or Subic at 3AM and Angeles city or Clark at 4AM.
Is there a short-cut?
When there are a few weeks of very good weather the off-road vehicles can driver further on the trail and this will reduce the distance you have to walk. Since it is weather-dependent never count on it, always prepare for the long trek which take roughly two hours of walk.
If we bring our own vehicle, is there a safe place to park it?
Yes, there are pay parking facilities at the base camp. They are guarded and very safe.
Will we meet the Aetas?
Yes and keep in mind they collectively own this mountain. We have the privilege to be their guests. You will see them while hiking and your guide might be a member of the Aeta community as well.
Do you offer the Mt Pinatubo adventure from Angeles and other locations?
Yes. On top of Manila we do arrange it from Angeles, Clark, San Fernando, Subic, Olongapo, Baguio city, Tarlac city and actually any point in Calabarzon or Central Luzon.
