We just completed a Mt. Pinatubo crater lake trek from the Botolan jump-off point in Zambales (different route from the Inararo Trail or Golden Trail to the Mount Pinatubo summit and the Tutulari Avatar Gorge in Porac, Pampanga)! This was a special tour arranged for us and joiner tours are available online. I didn’t find much info on the trail before the trip so I didn’t know what to expect. I hope this might help guide someone or myself in the near future like things I would bring or expect from a known tourist destination day trip from Manila.
