Overview
Philippine, a land of well-known natural beauty and rich biodiversity. Its beaches, mountains, rain forests, islands and diving spots are the most popular tourist destinations, earning it a nickname "The Pearl of The Orient Seas". There are plenty of magical moments to discover in this country, one of which is our ever favorite Mount Pulag. This time however we will venture to one of the less touristy area of Bataan Province, an area which is rich in both history/culture as well as outdoor adventures
Start your journey on the Tarak Ridge, arguably one of the most famous of Mariveles’ peak. True to its name which roughly translated to hunting knife ridges, Tarak Ridge trails consist of lush grassland at first progressing to rocky terrain, steep cliffs, and jagged rocks. The hike is moderate to hard in difficulty but it offers a dramatic and mesmerizing landscape and view, attracting more and more mountaineers every year.
