Mount Pinatubo is an active stratovolcano located on the island of
Luzon, at the intersection of the borders of the Philippine provinces of
Zambales, Tarlac, and Pampanga. It is located in the Cabusilan Mountain
range separating the west coast of Luzon from the central plains. The
mountain was inconspicuous and heavily eroded. It was covered in dense
forest which supported a population of several thousand indigenous
people, the Aeta, who had fled to the mountains from the lowlands when
the Spanish conquered the Philippines in 1565.
Mt. Pinatubo is a great place to visit. Here, visitors can take
guided hikes on some parts of its slope. It involved either days of
hiking or hours of 4×4 travel followed by a 2 hour hard hike.The place
is really awesome even in pictures and, maybe, the 1991 eruption added
to the magnificence of this natural tourist spot. Adventurers absolutely
love this place because it is a package deal. You can also take a
refreshing dip in Pinatubo’s 2.5 kilometer crater lake. Also avail are
relaxing spa adventures offered by some town establishments around Mount
Pinatubo.
