Some raw clips from our previous hike to Mt. Cabalian, an active volcano located in San Juan (Cabalian), Southern Leyte.

The volcano contains a crater lake with a small campsite, suitable for small groups or picnics. It is a relatively unknown but beautiful mountain, and is well worth the visit if you’re in the area.

Hikes can be arranged via the Municipal Tourism Office of San Juan or through organized joiner hikes.

Trail specs:

Difficulty 4/9, Trail Class 1-3, 2-4 hours to summit

Elevation: 945 masl (summit, closed), 733 masl (campsite, counts as “summit”)

Location: Brgy. Dayanog, San Juan (Cabalian), Southern Leyte

Lanao del Sur is an underrated province among visitors, often held back by stereotypes. But when you’re there, you’ll realize how beautiful and peaceful the place is.

Mt. Matampor overlooks that beautiful province, and on its slopes, one can feel the peace that the locals have all collectively longed for and work hard to maintain. 🌿
