Mt. Pinatubo Flight in Angeles City - Philippines

Going up Mt Pinatubo is one of the most popular activities in Angeles, and if you had gone to the city before, you might have performed such an excursion. But have you tried viewing the volcano from the sky? As beautiful as it is from the ground, the view is even more amazing from high above.

A Mt. Pinatubo flight begins when your plane departs from the runway, the clear skies just ahead of you. Climbing up to 5,000 ft, you will see cumulus clouds interspersed across the azure sky. As the plane moves forward, Mount Pinatubo looms ahead. Although the volcano is the main objective, the surrounding area is just as awe inspiring, for it was heavily affected by the explosion of the volcano.

On the northwestern side, the Mt. Pinatubo flight will reveal the ash deposits that were ejected from the volcano. Looking closely you will see that in between the vegetation that has grown around the area, there are also several gorges and cuts on the ash deposits created by flowing waters.

Before the massive eruption, this landscape was once a robust village filled with people and animals. While the devastation was great, one of the things that will be impressed upon you during this Mt. Pinatubo flight is that the emergence of greenery and vegetation is confirmation that, in spite of the destruction, life will always find a way to come through.

As the Mt. Pinatubo flight continues, you will eventually come across the crater from whence all the lahar and pyroclastic once flowed. Now however, there is a beautiful lake in its midst. A lovely turquoise in appearance, it has become one of the biggest attractions in the area, and is a stopping point in every trek up the volcano.

The cost of most Mt. Pinatubo flights is about 4,200 Php ($85) per individual. The minimum is two persons per plane. The best time to undertake the flight is the morning when the skies are clear, as it will make the takeoff from the Clark airfield much quicker as the view and atmosphere is clearer. Of course depending on the weather, you can also make arrangements for the journey in the afternoon.

A Mt. Pinatubo flight is one of the most exciting adventures that you can take part of. The breathtaking scenery will embed itself in your memory, and once more remind you of the inherent beauty and power that nature is capable of displaying.
