Pit Stop #2: Mt. Tapulao, Zambales

Located at Luzon, Philippines' western region, Mt Tapulao is the Zambales Mountain Range highest peak, majestic at over 2000+ meters above sea level.





A mountain-climber's favorite destination, Mt. Tapulao in Zambales possesses the same and comparable to the charms of the Cordillera's Mt Pulag.
Tapulao, means pine tree in the local dialect, a very fitting name to its pine tree dominated landscape.


The mountain was once a site of a large-scale carbide mining operations, making the mountain trails very wide, making 4x4 driving possible.

Other than mountain hiking/climbing and 4x4 driving, mountain biking and motor cross activities are possible.
