It is a two to three hours trek that will not be tough for any beginner and the complete journey can be quite satisfying, especially after reaching the summit. The Taal volcano is in Batangas that is only a few hours’ away from the city and it is one of the most treasured places around.

The hike is not so steep or strenuous so that with a steady pace, one can easily reach the peak and this is one of the trekking destinations in Manila. 

 

The Craters Lake is at a height of 311 meters over sea level and upon reaching the place; one can see the second most active volcano of the country from the best location that anyone can ever get. Going near to the Red Lava can help in viewing the molten material from the nearest that man could ever get to it and the complete journey to the top can seem worthy of all the pain.

This 252-meter hill situated in Rizal can be any mountain climber’s dream as it is a slightly different type of trail than any other conventional climb. It can take an hour’s journey to reach its peak and get an astonishing glimpse of the iconic Sierra Madre Mountain range. The rock formation of Sipit Ulang is like a “crab’s claw” and that justifies the name perfectly. The trek can be different than any other mountain due to the fact that dragging and cluttering may have to be undertaken to get past a short cave that leads to its summit. One can also enjoy a bath in the Payara Falls while making the descent.
