Get Ready for some Outdoor Challenge and an off-road adventure weekend to Mount Pinatubo!
Promote healthy lifestyle and indulge in a 30-minute trek to dried-up river beds and lahar field. At the end of the journey, indulge your senses with a panoramic view of ash covered peaks and turquoise crater lake.
Sta Juliana in Capas, Tarlac is the gateway to our Mt. Pinatubo Day Trek Challenge. Being an active stratovolcano, it has been a popular destination to backpackers, foreigners and locals alike. But with the new developments in the area by Sta. Juliana Tourism Council, family and kids enjoy this challenge with an ease as well.

hi there havenhunter! my finace’s mom and i would like to go on a day trip to pinatubo on august 4. theres just the 2 of us. are organizing a groupt tour again or if not, do you any group tours that we could join so our expenses will be minimized? i checked several agencies and they’re much too expensive for us. any tips and advises are highly appreciated. thanks very much!
Hi Carmela,
I’ll be glad to help, but unfortunately, we don’t have any plans for Mt. Pinatubo on August. Prices can be a little stiff if you join group tours by travel agents especially if you don’t meet the number requirements. If you can DIY, try to gather at least 5 people. You can fit into one 4×4, and from the tourism office, they can provide you with guide.
Have fun!
ERRATUM: are you organizing a group tour again or if not, do you know any group tours that we could join..
Are there any trips to Mt. Pinatubo sometime in October? We are interested, maybe 3 of us more. Salamat- J
Hi Julio, yes there are trips to Mt. Pinatubo crater on October. Please do contact their office before heading down though, heavy rains / flash floods prone the area during monsoon so its better to be safe.
