A Beginner’s Hiking Guide at Mt. Pico De Loro
Last November 15, my sister, my cousins and I climbed the famous Mt. Pico de Loro. Most of us are girls so we hired a local tour guide to accompany us on climbing up the famous mountain.

» Tips «
1. Don’t forget to bring small towel, 1-2 litres of bottled water, a pack of lunch, first aid kit, flash light and gloves. Don’t forget to apply sunblock, too.
2. Do a lot of stretching exercises before you hike. (We failed this one and the result was we had 3-4 days body aches after the hike.)
3. Be optimistic and smile often while you are hiking. It will ease your body pain and you won’t notice you are walking and climbing for more than an hour.
4. Don’t forget to bring monopod, camera, phones. The sceneries above the summit is so beautiful!
5. Never skip the chance to climb up the monolith. (We missed this chance because we’re a bit scared when we saw how crooked and steep the road going there. :)
