点评:I went there on Monday morning, November 6th, 2023, at 8am. I was going to get a jeepney to get there, but the hotel staff advised to get a tricycle for convenience. I'm glad I followed their advise, because the tricycle took me right to the entrance. If I'd taken the jeepney, I would have had to walk another 15 minutes from the road to the entrance.
The place is a Botanist's dream! I saw clumps of bamboos trying to survive under the shades of larger trees, while being strangled by wild vines. Most plants are obviously water loving, with plenty of moisture lingering from the evening rain.
The walk was about 15 to 20 minutes, and it got steeper the closer you get to the top. There were a couple of benches halfway, which you can rest and take pictures of the city. You can't see the volcano till you get to the top.
Nobody collected fees, but no stores open either. Luckily, I bought my own water. The views from the top was amazing! I counted a total of 6 visitors to the area, plus three staff (could be volunteers?) cleaning the grounds.
The place was still being renovated, no toilet access, but hey, if you're desperate, plenty of bushland around😊.
I would advise to go there before 9am, because by 9, onwards, the clouds tends to descend on the volcano, hiding most of it. Ditto if you're going to Cagsawa Ruins.

这个地方是植物学家的梦想!我看到一丛丛竹子试图在大树的树荫下生存,却被野生藤蔓勒死。大多数植物显然都是喜水的,晚上的雨会留下大量的水分。
步行大约需要15到20分钟,越接近山顶,路就越陡。半路有几张长凳,可以休息,拍拍城市的照片。在到达山顶之前你看不到火山。
没有人收费,但也没有商店开门。幸运的是,我自己买了水。从顶部看到的景色真是太棒了!我算了一下,该地区共有 6 名游客,外加三名清洁场地的工作人员(可能是志愿者?)。
这个地方仍在装修,没有厕所,但是嘿,如果你绝望的话,周围有很多丛林😊。
我建议早上 9 点之前去那里,因为到了 9 点之后,云层往往会降落在火山上,遮住大部分火山。如果你要去卡萨瓦遗址,也是如此。
