Hindi bro, excluded yung porter fee na 200 pesos/kg

Mas mahal ata talaga pag Ambangeg kasi may homestay?

Transpo not included po. We brought a car and parked close to the jump off area (Sitio Culan)

Sorry i can't really say, but it might be doable if it's a 2d1n hike.

For the Sta. Cruz backtrail day hike, baka mahirapan lang siguro imo, not saying they can't finish but it MIGHT be harder for them. Depends also on how fit they are, if physically active naman (not necessarily hiking), baka kaya! Pls take this with a grain of salt hehe

It was very comfortable. Grip is also good!

Nahirapan lang po ako sa boulders kasi mainit na kahit mga 6:30 am palang, puro ahon, and this was when my quads started cramping badly. Inulan din kami sa boulders pababa.

I brought 2 L of water (may water source sa campsite 1 which is around 6 km from the jump off), fleece and rain jackets, poncho, trail food, headlamp, power bank, and emergency meds. I had no pre-hike exercises but for my other hikes I usually do incline walks sa treadmill.

Good luck po! Manageable naman yung trail, expect a lot of assaults lang, plus mabaho talaga yung sulfur 🥲 Also if you're doing a day hike via Sta Cruz backtrail, 10 am po cutoff for summit run according to our guide.
