This little guy greeted us during one of our rest stops.

it reminds me of pokemons hahaha

The eager hikers. Even though we are so gonna get tanned after this! hahahaha

 Pro: Mt. Talamitan is bountiful of picturesque open fields and skylines.

Con: Less trees to cover up the sun, so don't forget those sunblocks!

Almost!

When we reached the summit an ice drop vendor surprised us. How cool is that!

It's like a god'dam trophy for your achievement haha

It was really a hot high noon so the icecream was so rewarding.

Phoot session starts.

We made it!

I'm wearing Sandugo

We found a spot to rest and had a quick lunch.

I love cows

After lounging around, it's time to head back down.

We found a small stream at the bottom of the mountain so why not chill for a second.

Conclusion: 

Most of the trail is an open field so better prepare you sunnies, hats, scarves, arm warmers and sunblock to protect you from direct sunrays. Generally the trail is not difficult but the heat is exhausting. There is also a challenging 60 degree steep trail on the way to the summit but it is doable even for beginners IMO, I felt like spiderman when I did it hahahhaa it was favorite part of the hike.

The summit has amazing view of Batangas and it's neighboring terrains like Mt. Batulao.
