Mt. Gulugod Baboy’s Trail
Mt. Gulugod Baboy is a minor climb with 2/9 difficulty level and a Trail class of 1 to 2. It features a panoramic view of the bays, rolling hills covered in green and several known mountains in the south. The main jump off point is at Philpan Dive Resort in Barangay Anilao, Mabini, Batangas. It takes an hour or two from that point to its peaks. Be reminded though that the trail has seemingly unending assault. On the first few kilometers, you will be walking on a steep concrete road. Thus, wearing of a pair of trekking shoes or sandals with a very good grip is highly suggested. It’s mostly shady but it gets open as you approach its peaks. There are various trails as well; hence, hire a guide especially if it’s your first time.
