TIPS

Tips from WAYPOINT.PH

http://www.waypoints.ph/detail_gen.html?wpt=pntubo

For your safety and convenience, it is strictly advisable for you to take guide services. They know the current safest route to take while trekking. You can get guides at jump-off points. If you have the resources, you can take packaged tours, which usually cost around 3,500 Php inclusive of permits, foods, and transportation and guide fee. It is discouraged to trek during the night since it is highly dangerous. It is very hot during the summer months since the ashes are reflecting the rays of the sun so bring sun block lotions and proper climbing gears. Make the trek early morning or later in the afternoon to avoid the noon heat.

Some of the fees might include (we are actually not allowed by the locals to trek alone because it is basically their means of livelihood):

* conservation fee : 10 Php
* tour guide : 500 Php (per 5 pax)
* use of sleeping quarters : (150) Php (or camp at school grounds for free)
* certificate of conquest : 50 Php

During night time, the cold air's windy direction is very unpredictable and would usually echo among the crater walls. We have an experience that after the sunrise, one our group's dome type tent was not able to resist the rushing wind and ultimately gave in. Fortunately it was already time for break camp.
