What is it like to hike to the summit of Mount Pinatubo today? More than just a lake.

1. The Lahar Moonscape of Crow Valley

The vast, desolate valley you traverse wasn't always barren; it was once a fertile landscape buried by a single eruption.

2. Aeta Ancestral Lands (near Santa Juliana)

The Aeta people, who lived on Pinatubo's slopes for centuries, used their deep ancestral knowledge to predict the eruption and save lives.

3. Puning Hot Spring & Sand Spa

4. The Shifting Colors of Pinatubo Crater Lake
