| Page Views: 2,181 Last Visit to Province of Laguna: February, 2005 | MOUNT MAKILING by moonlighting - last update: Mar 7, 2005 |
The mystical Mt. Makiling* is an inactive volcano, rising to about 1,109 meter above sea level. The vegetation consists of approximately 2,048 different species of plants. The lower slope is a tall dipterocarp forest while the summit is a dwarf mossy forest. According to legends, the slopes of Mt. Makiling are shaped like that of a woman reclining down. Some say that it is the profile of the sleeping Mariang Makiling, a legendary goddess. Still others say that Mariang Makiling dwells in this mountain and protects it from harm. |
|  | Why climb Makiling? Why climb at all? Alain (fellow VTer Alain_Smeets) currently vacationing in the country with VTer wifey Imelda (Almelain) is such a mountain buff. After some 3 weeks gallivanting in the mountains of Australia, thought he wasn’t having enough so the Makiling hike was born.
------------------------------------------------------------------
Makiling in Los Baños, Laguna is about 2 hours from Manila and has an easy to follow trail even for first-timers like yours truly. |
