00:00If you're just going to escape the chaos and noise of Metro Manila,

00:07watch out for the zambales that are coming.

00:09You will definitely relax in a secluded place that is very quiet.

00:17Quiet.

00:19Peaceful.

00:21Spooky.

00:23Aside from the noise of the zambales,

00:26there is a hidden treasure in a historical area, Lake Mapanuepe.

00:33This is where Chris Velchong was looking for a place to rest.

00:37Together with his girlfriend, they went camping in Lake Mapanuepe.

00:41We tried camping without hiking.

00:43So, if you just want to have relaxation and you don't need to be tired,

00:50go to Lake Mapanuepe to camp.

00:52When it comes to Lawa, it's the noisy noise that attracts them.

00:57There is no signal and electricity in the area,

01:00so it's really worth the bonding with your friends and loved ones.

01:05Aside from camping, you can rent a boat to go around the Sunken Church,

01:10two barangays that were flooded by the eruption of Mount Pinatubo in 1991.

01:15There are floating stores if you don't bring food,

01:18or cook a fish that will be caught in Lawa.

01:21There are also atheists who go around there.

01:24They sell products that they made.

01:27Because of its remote surroundings, it is called mini New Zealand.

01:31Of course, we like Instagrammable posts.

01:35The nature there is so beautiful, so you won't miss your pictures.

01:40It also reminds you of the places you want to go.

01:43I hope the people who go there don't bring loud speakers or karaoke,

01:50because people go there to relax.

01:59In Masinlok, Zambales, you will find a river with very clear water.

02:03Let's go to the former house that is now a destination for those who want to chillax with nature.

02:09With nature.

02:18You will really enjoy the crystal clear water.

02:21It's so cold.

02:23The go-to place for those who want to chillax.

02:30Koto Mines, a former mine that became a popular destination.

02:35It's so beautiful.

02:36The water is blue green.

02:39The Lost Boys, Kirk Del Rosario and Brian Malig.

02:44Travel vloggers who were blown away by the cool breeze and the beauty of the view.

02:52Our original plan was canceled.

02:54I said, bro, I saw a post about a river that is so beautiful.

03:01Let's go there.

03:02True enough, the place is really beautiful.

03:06Koto Mines is famous for bonding with quality time.

03:10You can do that.

03:11Number one is probably camping.

03:13Koto Mines is a place where you can disconnect.

03:16There's no signal and it's a bit far.

03:19So you're far from the urban life.

03:21There are parts of the river that can be enjoyed by children.

03:25But there should be a guard that can keep an eye on it.

03:27Especially since the water is very strong in the river.

03:31There are also some recreational activities in the resort.

03:36Before you can reach Koto Mines, you need to register in the municipality of Masinlog, Zambales.

03:44It's in the heart of Sitio Koto.

03:47So expect a long journey to get there.

03:51Maybe the small vehicles won't be able to do it because it's a rough road.

03:58But...

03:59The journey was worth it.

04:03You wake up early, you travel a bit far.

04:06You'll be rewarded with this.

04:07Rough road.

04:08It's very clear, cold.

04:11It's refreshing.

04:15Swimming in the wind,

04:16floating in the water,

04:18or swimming in the ocean.

04:20All of that in one place.

04:23Kabangan, Zambales.

04:25So now that the weather is getting warmer,

04:28the vacation in the sea of Farzon is worth it.

04:33There are a lot of side trips that you can go to.

04:36The sea is the best.

04:38It's a perfect getaway for me.

04:40This beach resort can be done one-to-one.

04:44Because it's not just the sea.

04:46There's also a very clean river.

04:49Kayaking, kaya.

04:51Surfing, g.

04:53You can also go fishing while admiring the golden sunset.

04:59The history of the eruption of Pinatubo volcano

05:02has been left behind for more than 30 years.

05:05In the aftermath, a beautiful view emerged.

05:09More than three decades have passed since the eruption of Mount Pinatubo.

05:14But the volcano continues to make noise because of its beauty.

05:19Beautiful disaster, if you will.

05:25Before Pinatubo Crater Lake arrives,

05:28you have to pass through Lahar.

05:32From Kapasarlak, you have to ride a 4x4 truck.

05:36So we're going to Mount Pinatubo.

05:38You have to ride a 4x4 ride,

05:41which will take 1 to 30 minutes.

05:45It's so beautiful!

05:48On the way, the view is worth it because of the vastness of Lahar.

05:53The hot sun will not wait for you.

05:55It's very rewarding to pass through Toblerone Hills or Mga Burol.

06:01When you reach the top of the mountain,

06:03you have to hike.

06:06There are many rivers to pass through.

06:08If you're hungry, you can eat while hiking.

06:12The locals sell food.

06:14Tired of hiking for more than 1.5 hours,

06:18you will recover because of the beauty of Crater Lake.

06:22Pinatubo has the best weather.

06:26So if you go to the volcano,

06:28you will not regret it.

06:34Do you want to disconnect from stress and reconnect with nature?

06:39We want that, Maki.

06:41And you can go to a place near Metro Manila.

06:47The drawing outing is colorful.

06:51Just like what Albert and Aiki did.

06:56Here in Zambales,

06:57they decided to go to avoid stress.

07:00How?

07:01The environment is peaceful.

07:03And the sea is peaceful.

07:06This is what will last.

07:08We really disconnected from everyday life.

07:11Because I'm not super occupied,

07:12time suddenly felt slower.

07:14That's why we enjoyed it completely.

07:17From Pundakit,

07:18the boat ride takes 45 minutes to reach the cove.

07:22If you go overnight,

07:23you can rent cottages.

07:26Or be ready for a camping-style stay at the beach

07:30where you can bonfire.

07:33You won't miss swimming

07:36and other water activities like jet skiing and island hopping.

07:41But their scenic hilltop hiking was really recommended.

07:46It's very surreal.

07:47It wasn't just how natural it was.

07:49Everything was very untouched.

07:50And that's something that was very evident with the place.

07:52It's also very close to Metro Manila.

07:55So if you want a quick getaway,

07:57you should get tired of the beauty of wandering.

08:03Some adventure with nature.

08:05Chill bonding.

08:07Or extreme travel.

08:09Join us this summer.
