Explore! commented on this reviewThanks for your review. Hope to travel with you in the future.Trip date: December 2018Review collected by Explore! - ASophie· May 17th, 2019All the walks were easy to moderate. A walking stick is definitely of great use (walking sticks were provided everywhere). A waterproof bag is essential to seal your camera or mobile phone when crossing the river multiple times during the Mt Pinatubo...
