PICO DE LORO via Nasugbu Batangas

Did you ever get lost for trusting too much? No, this is not one of those "hugot" lines you hear from TV's or read from social media. Well, when you put too much trust on your GPS it could happen.

This was our first south bound hike, passing thru Manila is a total pain, traffic here, traffic there, traffic everywhere.

The route plan was Ternate Cavite, though we were going in circles, we were pretty confident that we're on the right track. We were following my sisters car, they're the one's leading us since they have GPS.

Instead of Ternate Cavite we were in route passing thru Tagaytay, the road was so foggy. Since we couldn't go back and it would be a total waste of time and effort and fuel, we decided to follow the GPS. The GPS took us to Nasugbu Batangas, not bad.

Stop over somewhere in Tagaytay. As you can see the background is foggy.

Even though we got lost along the way, we managed to arrive at Nasugbu Batangas Pico De Loro Jump off early. Here's a Mandatory picture before heading up to the mountains.

This is what happens when your squad is incomplete.

By far this hike was the most easy, very light. It was even easy because of the many companions we had (ang iingay hahahahahahahaha)

Chinese bamboo shaded our way up, it kept us away from the heat of the sun. Less heat, less dehydration.

Taking rest from time to time helps restore energy and oxygen. During our hike, the place was very humid so little air. (Nakakahingal and lugar na 'to)

Guides here are fearless, they would jump from rock to rock without any fuss or hesitation. They are the ninjas of this place.

Horse-playing is not advisable. Please do take care of your steps, one mistake could end you journey.

I highly suggest that you schedule your hike on weekdays. It's a bit crowded here during weekends. (I would probably go back here soon, but this time i'll take the Ternate jump off in Cavite)
