Mt. Pinatubo Reviews
 Great weekend to spend hiking at Mt. Pinatubo Apr 13, 2008
If you are the type of person who likes the outdoors and does not mind walking for hours in dusty environment, then going for a day (or overnight) to Mt Pinatubo is a must-do activity.
Information below based on my recent day trip to Mt. Pinatubo using public transportation: Early Morning: Ride a provincial bus in Cubao, Quezon City Destination is Capas, Tarlac. One way fare - aircon bus: Php145/per person Duration: around 1.5 hours Arrival in Capas: In Capas, Tarlac (make sure you eat breakfast first) ride a tricyle going to Sta. Juliana, Capas to the Pinatubo Spa Resort. Fare: Php300 Duration: around 40mins In Sta. Juliana, Capas: Avail of the package tour at the Pinatubo Spa Resort which includes the 4 x 4 Jeep with driver and tour guide Fee: Php1,500/per person (group of 3 and more) Fee: Php2,000/per person (group of 2) (The fee includes one meal) From Sta Juliana, ride the 4 x 4 Jeep for around 1 hour and will bring you near the site. There are two options: Hike for "40 mins" or 3 hours. (I took the "40 mins" hike but took me more than an hour to reach the crater of Mt Pinatubo)  Part of the Mt. Pinatubo, Philippines travel blog
