Ended a challenging yet memorable week with another challenging one-day traverse at the enchanting Mt. Makiling, from Sto. Tomas, Batangas to Los Baños, Laguna. It is one of the toughest mountain traverses you can do near the Metro. Known for its mystical and legendary stories of Maria Makiling, the mountain is home to a lush ecosystem that creates a world of its own. It is truly a blessing that the mountain has been opened again for hikers after years of closure.
